After installing your adj rear sway and spherical end links, what would be the next most beneficial upgrade to reduce understeer?

[@034motorsport]

We would recommend our Dynamic+ Camber Mounts and Dynamic+ Lowering Springs!

Hi, If I have only your rear swaybar on my mk7 golf R can I adjust it on the stiffer hole or I can be dangerous for snap oversteer? thanks

[@034motorsport]

We run the sway bar on the stiffer setting on our development MQB chassis cars, including our Golf R! It will further promote rotation of your vehicle!

Safer, unless there’s a canyon in front of you.

Interesting video! "All cars from the factory are designed to understeer," interestingly the Fiesta ST (the new three-cylinder one) oversteers like mad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGjGfaOOqcp1pcU A pointy car in the dry, turns into sideways city in the wet! It's a shame VW are so much more conservative than Ford.

[@034motorsport]

You are right, this is a safer handling dynamic, never re-assuring when a car goes backwards and you cannot see where you're going. Remember the Mk1 TT disaster when a few cars spun and crashed at high speeds? It was very bad press for VAG, this is why they don't deliver cars like this from the factory, but don't worry, we're here to change that on any new model, thanks!

[@240fxst]

Why are you talking about front wheel drive cars when your catch phrase is an “R”?

[@034motorsport]

Haldex cars are not full time all wheel drive, they drive and handle dynamically very much like a front wheel drive vehicle.

You gave us no answer

We absolutely do, but you have to watch the whole video to get the answer
