Best handling mods to do

[Sammy]

Right ATM I have just eibach sport lines and il be doing the k04 conversion soon so no doubt I will be needing it, I was wondering which are the best handling mods to do price for price, what I mean which mod should I do first which will be best to do without breaking the bank.

bilstein dampers to compliment your springs, uprated arb's front and rear (eibach, autotech etc) whiteline ALK quite cheap - you will need them all if going big power

I'd be going for a WALK, Rear ARB, B12 suspension, BS kit and any worn bushes. Think these would help the most, an LSD would transform grip

[Sammy]

Thanks guys, It seems WALK is definately first on the list, If i go for anti roll bars which one would help most the front or rear, As in if i was to do 1 which should i do first?

[Sammy]

Also what is a BS kit and which bushes should i be checking?

Whats your budget?

The uprated lower engine mount should be an early modification.  That'll help reduce wheel hop and maintain traction a little more. circa £200

The rear anti roll bar is a fantastic modification with awesome results for not to much cash.  circa £200

Audi TT Lower arms will save you a nice chunk of weight and allow you to run more camber on the front.  circa £350

Bilstein B8 dampers will compliment the springs you have very well. not to sure how much but nothing crazy.

You also need to look at the brakes.  R32 kits go for around £350-400 regularily, DaveBs NQSBBK is good value at about £600 iirc or big brake kits for £1000+

Id do WALK after all of the above.  Maybe the same time as the TT lower arms to save on labour

Id recommend if doinf TT lower arms, doing super pro inserts over WALK

Otherwise Cupra arms for weight saving & WALK or SupePro kit & if you want to play with camber then top mounts

Well ATM I only want to do 1 modification till next pay and want the car to feel more flat during bends (less lift), budget is around £250, it seems anti roll bar is what I need so go for the rear first? Anyone got positive feedback for them and also what brand to go for?

[Janner_Sy]

Whiteline, H&R, Autotech, eibach, BSH are all one and the same.

Think the BSH will be the stiffest.  The eibackh the leaststiff.  The whiteline is a good bet &is adjustable as well and pretty cheap

Simple tyres. 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Neuspeed have done a great job at keeping mine flat in the bends, If buying again I would maybe get autotech due to being lighter but as stiff if not stiffer than other brands.

Unsprung Weight loss (Brakes, wheels, suspension etc) =

Amazing how many people overlook this

Tyres and Brakes first

Good point.  Be interested to know what tyres he's running as theres probably big improvements to made there straight away.

So true... No point in spending a wedge on chassis mods and running Falken 452 tyres or worse..... is there TFSI-Mike....  

Goodyear F1v2 is what i would recommend... the grip they provide is silly, they grip so well in the bends.
