fast road setup
« on: April 15, 2011, 11:55:11 pm »
Ive just had my gti lowered on eibach pro street coilovers and am after having a fast road setup put on it when i get the tracking redone.  I'm struggling to find the settings for this and am wondering if anyone has done this and what they think to it?

What do you mean by "having a fast road setup put on it"?

im assuming he means having his geometry set up for a more aggressive turn in.

Your best bet is to take it to a specialist chassis tuner such as wheels in motion, centre gravity, VWracing BDMotorpsport etc. all of these have experience with setting cars, for road and track

I meant to say the geometry of the car. A friends had it done on his integra dc5 and he said its made a big difference in the way it drives

Take it to Chris at centre of gravity, he will spend 7 hours setting it up then scare the life out of you when he takes you out for a spin. 100 mph in my old 911 with no hands on steering wheel down a country lane was enough to scare me  :laugh:
