Hi All,

I have had the 306 GTI 6 since Christmas and are loving it. I am glade I payed more for the best one I could get. Since having it I have been getting more and more involved in track work. I have fitted upper and lower OMP strut braces and that is about it so far. I am waiting for Koni shocks 30 or 40mm lower with H & R springs to come from the UK so that is next. The problem is that the car on track is understeering to much for my liking and the outer edge of tyres are wearing alot. I was going to get some adjustable tower tops to increase the negative camber on the track to stop this - will this stop the understeering or is the only solution to stiffen up the rear. I was going to fit some 21mm TB's and see if I can get hold of a hybrid ARB [they seem hard to get hold of] as well. I was not going to fit a solid rear mount and are not sure if this will actually help the handling. Also the car does not seem to do the 3 legged dog trick how is this done?

Cheers

Basically it sounds to me that the front is uprated and the rear isn't
Which is your issue.
But i think the things you intending to do will sort it anyway. particularly the 21mmtb's and hybrid arb.

If its a track car you might want 23mm tb's and a 30mm arb instead.
But if its a road car mainly i would stick with what you have suggested

I think the main cause of your problems is 100% the fact that the front is stiffened and uprated from standard but the back is just as soft as it used to be.
If you stiffened the back in relation to the front you will reduce the understeer

I think if you did the following
21mm
hybrid arb
solid mounts
uprated shocks

it would restore the balance and improve the handling no end.
I wouldnt think about a lsd until you get to that point and you know that your still not happy

As you say there is additional cost to fitting a 30mm arb as you have to machine the pins i believe

check your rear arb is connected to its splines, they do tripod as standard if you drive it right.

try altering your driving style, sounds like your just battering in and hopping, rather than getting it setup and powering out.

Bring on the Trumpets.

All bushes uprated, 21mm TB's on the rear with solid mounts, 30mm ARB and uprated shocks.

Try dropping the whole car by around 30-40mm. What tyres are you running?

Cool. Bushes are all still 100% good but rubber - so you guys recommend urethane all round? Tyres are Bridgestone RE002 and are grippy and alot better than the old Pirelli P6's that were there when I bought the car. I will take your advise aaron6 and not go the solid mounts as I want to avid that if I can. Am looking at getting the hybrid and 21's as soon as I can + paid for and weighting on the Koni kit + will fit urethane all round if that might help as well.

The under-steering is a problem on really tight technical tracks where I don't get out of second gear and the track is very narrow - I am fighting the car from always going straight ahead. I normally try to control this by feathering the accelerator and brake. It is hard to even get lift of oversteer on these circuits because of the front. On double apex 180 degree tight corners understeer is also a problem. The corner I cam off on was mainly cause of to much speed in.

On high speed corners the car feels light and not as planted as I would like. Torque steer is not really a problem at all.

I want to get these things sorted and then get my driving better. I know the car is capable of keeping up with the late model front wheels even if it does not have the power of them but feel these issues need to be fixed to give me more confidence to push further.

Cheers - PS go Mark Webber this weekend!

Might get it checked this week but it seems fine.

I always say a 30mm rear ARB is fine even for road use, No issue's with them along with solid mounts as along with up-rated front bush's it makes the car turn allot sharper as you don;t have to wait for the rubber to react.

Front wise you can machine the hubs for Camber but on std dia springs you cannot use top mounts

Cool does not sound hard at all - I thought fitting a 30mm was a hard job - cheers guys.

Which way is it tensioned?

Yeah, should be in tension really - pulling inwards on the strut tops, but not a lot.
