Tyre Pressure

[firdausasri]

Currently running on 2.2 (fr) & 2.1 (rr) bar, so far felt too loose. Gonna try 2.8 & 2.6 bar later on. Do you guys know what our car alignment spec? Camber, toe? Is the caster adjustable?

I believe I've read something about the toe being adjustable, but not the camber. Not 100% sure.

One thing to remember also is that different brands recommend differing pressures. I ran my Contis at 40 ... but I'm running the Marangonis at 36. The Marangonis have a stronger sidewall than the Contis and 36 gives a little extra flex. Generally ... I'd take the tire manufacturer's advice ... for optimum performance & wear ... they should know best.

Max,

The front cambers are adjustable, but not too sure about the rears coz of the semi independent setup

Don't set your expectations too high about front camber adjustability -- there's virtually none to be had

Er no they're not.Only adjustment on the front is for toe.
Rear is a beam,not "semi independent"? and has no camber/toe adjustment.

Can't you use shims?

Ok.....How are you supposed to adjust Castor, and Camber for when you do a wheel alignment?? Just dosn't seem right.

Yes you can, Whiteline make them for the Polo GTI. I tried them, although they toed out too much, so took them out.

[firdausasri]

Shims? What's that? Did you guys running on adjustable suspension & front pillow ball mounts? Supposed it can adjust camber with that right? I'm finding the car kinda wash wide at corners, got to do lots of left-foot braking just to get it neutral with ESP off of course
