Noone's Polo

[Evaded Motorsport]

No dramas man, those things happen, hope you get it sorted.

Well, its been a while, but I have to be quick.

Off the selling train, back on the modding parth...

New bushes and front strut mounts on the way to be coupled with KW V1's.
Looking to improve my stance
May be changing the rubber

Talking to some tuners about alternative tunes to get the most out of my current mods.

Update due next week once coilovers are in.

I'm loving the coilovers and sure you will too... but as others have said the V1's don't go as low in the rear as they do in the front... You can always get shorter coils made up I suppose

Couldnt help yourself could ya

Glad you changed your mind!

[Spec83]

It's funny... I tried to sell mine ~6mths ago and had a few low-ballers that offered me $10k (who I told to go f%*& themselves)... after that I ended up doing a whole heaps of mods that I wanted to do for 4+ years!!

The Polo and I's relationship is well back on track and I could never contemplate parting with her now

Been low, willing to compromise for comfort...

would that positive rake be intentional, for handling purposes?

[noone]

Sorry mate, not sure I follow.

Rake (Castor) would not really be affected by lowering... Would it?

Castor is good, adjustable tophats are the way to get it...

hey ben, hows things?

i probably have my terminologies wrong, but "rake" as in whatever lowering one does to their pog, the back wheel lowering does not exceed the front wheels... if that makes sense?

e.g. supersport (as seen on orange tuning and dpm, i think) offer a suspension kit that has 55mm lowering in the front, and 50mm in the rear, as well as a 50mm front / 35mm rear kit...

i've read that lowering more in the front than in the rear has the effect of "decreasing" understeer (to a point, before you're overloading the front suspension by having too much forward rake).

Buller_Scott is refering to the actual car's body rake. A positive rake is indeed good for aiding in reducing under-steer.

I prefer to steer from the rear - the style I prefer from motor racing.
