Mk5 Gti handeling

Hello I like to drive my gti hard around the twistys
But when I do I’ve notiched the car handels abit soggy with quite abit of body roll,like it hard to keep you line round a bend or roundabout.
The mods the car has is
Stage 1
Yellow dogbone insert
Black front wishbone front bush
Fk coilovers(on the list to get changed after stage 2)

What would make the car stiffer and firmer in the bends,I’m getting 4 wheel alignment done aswell

I would say that stiffer arbs are your next step and these will also help reduce understeer. I use the smaller H&R model as I didn’t want to lose much ride quality and this brand is both well made and silent. You might prefer their larger 28/24mm option.  Given the cost of alignment, I would also recommend fitting the SP balljoints to both correct roll centre and also get some more negative camber for sharper turn in.

I have thought abought a rear arb,looking at the white line 24mm one,have you got a link for them sp bushing please as I don’t really no what you mean

How low are the coilovers set?  If they are set really low, try raising them to -20mm or so and see if things improve.  If there is an improvement, the roll centre is too low as Colesey said.   Passat/S3 spindles are better for lowering Golfs because the tie rod and ball joint mountings are lower down, therefore keeping the roll center close to factory with mild ride height drops.
