I'm getting my H&R monotube coilovers (hopefully it comes with shorten drop links) and will get it installed plus corner weighting and geometry corrections soon. Will do a review soon

Anyone have any info on a front swaybar upgrade , how it feels etc.

Done a track day and the car seems to understeer even with the rear bar on its hardest setting. Thinking on trying a front bar

I believe noone has a FSB.

This is a decent read on FSB feedback: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ion-41024.html

Hey Troy,

done a couple of recent track runs on a fairly elevated track which really shows up all the flaws of a fwd car.

The second run I had the rear on medium and the front changed also to medium from soft and I think it's the closest i'm going to get to a completely neutral balance on the the Devil. Never before seen so much turn in and no understeer. And the most grip i've ever had from a takeoff and cornering. I also have a Forge strut brace and a Wiechers steel lower brace so the front end is very tight now especially with the sway on medium. I dare say If I went with damper adjustable coilovers and dialed a slightly harder setting on the fronts it would be go cart like experience. Oh and from what i've read the light weight rims help with turn in and feedback also. It was fun disposing of a few Golf R's too

How is the Whiteline rear toe correction kit

The wheel alignment printouts say they're a winner!

front sway can add a lot of traction and make the ride stiff. I'm not sure of the direct difference between stock and the fsb as I had coilovers and a bunch of other bits done at the same time.

If you are keen, I'd suggest looking towards a LSD and sticky rubber for the front end.

The much cheaper FSB can certainly help keep more weight on the inside wheel.

Unless you have enough body roll to cause serious camber issues, an anti roll bar does the opposite - you lose grip with the extra roll stiffness as weight gets transferred from the inside wheel to the outer one.
Unless I've misinterpreted your comment and you are talking about using an aftermarket front antiroll bar that has lower stiffness than stock.

What greater roll stiffness does give you is better steering response.

Think I will go to pedders tomorrow and order the Toe Correction and hold off on the Swaybar for a bit

Don't want to sound rude, but I think you need some more practice in a powerful FWD. Less is more!
