If your running standard suspension you don't really feel it. But I recently stiffened all the front end of my car and fitted a rebuilt axle with o/e mounts, and on cornering it felt like the back end was going to overtake me Once I fitted solid rear mounts, it made a huge difference ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

It does allow late turn in, feels odd if you aint going quick enough. Solid mounts make it feel planted but take some of the fun factor away from the car. If they steer easily your mounts might be worn out. New rubber mounts ftw!________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
