VR6 Body roll!

[Simon 0]

Everyone seems to say how good the handling is on a VR6 (although maybe not as good as the smaller engined models), however whenever I attempt to take a corner with some speed, there is immense body roll.

 

My car is totally standard, and i was wondering if there was anyway of improving the handling without spending a fortune?? I appreciate the C's do cost a lot to maintain etc, but i've only had mine for a month and don't really want to be shelling out a load of cash quite so soon.

 

All advice welcome

if its still on the original dampers they would be getting on for nearly 15 years old so they are bound to be worn a bit,so you will get some body roll,either get some new standard shocks or uprated ones or if yoiu can afford coilovers,i get no body roll on mine at all now :D

Get some coilover suspension, you can get a decsent kit for about £600

15 year old dampers on a car that's no older than 11 years? :D

Coilovers, Anti-roll bars, strut brace.... Good things to consider.

but the struts are the same as mk2 golf ones so could be 15 years old,probably just with different springs thats all

Yeah I was thinking that but I was just making the point that they've only had about 11 years maximum use.

 

Like I said though, just being pedantic :)

Thanks for the info all..... I'm now off to spend some money. As long as it handles like a go kart afterwards i won't be too upset.
