Hmm, interesting about the tyres. I have two Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres on the front and 2 budgets on the back so maybe that is having an affect on the handling?
I always make sure that the pressures are correct as per the fuel filler cap (39 front, 36 back).
Do you have one of these RARB mods on ...

Re: Recommendations for Suspension Upgrades?
Guess I have some saving to do!
In terms of upgrading other parts, like bushes, anti-roll bars, etc, is it worth spending money on the PowerFlex products?

Recommendations for Suspension Upgrades?
Hi all,
I have a 6R GTI which is great to drive but I feel that the ride comfort and handling isn't all that great.
Can anyone recommend any coilovers that will give it a lower stance but won't compromise on comfort? I've seen the KW Street Comfort coilovers mentioned before but they are a bit out ...

Re: Best Tyres for GTI 6R
Looking at the discs at the top of the page, which are the ones to go for the MTEC874 or 875?

Re: Best Tyres for GTI 6R
Thanks for all your feedback guys.
After much research I have decided to go with the Uniroyal RainSport 3 which my father also has on his Zafira.
The car feels much better to drive already!
When they were fitting the tyres they found a load of crap stuck between the calipers and brake pads/discs ...

Best Tyres for GTI 6R
Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for good tyres on the GTI 6R?
I have the contiential sport maxx which is starting to wear and cause steering issues (pull to the left, twitching on road, etc)

Re: Common suspension problems?
So took the car to the garage yesterday and found out the cause of knocking was the shock absorbers. They were leaking gas.
Got it approved through warranty and saved my self £300

Common suspension problems?
Hi all (new here),
Driving my Polo lately I have noticed it is a lot more bumpier than usual at the back, sometimes I hear a knocking which sounds like it is inside the cabin?
I have checked the boot area and everything looks secure. The only loose thing seems to be that polystyrene tray which ...
