64 6C Polo suspension cost effective upgrade stage 1

Post by Robbo770 »

So I am prepping my daughters first car 64 plate SEL and notice stock it is a bit folly in the corners, more than I would like and so am getting these to help tighten it all up in the handling. The polo is already quite hard on the rear end from the factory, so don’t want to lower it currently, unless I have too.

So Eibach anti roll bar set https://www.eibachshop.co.uk/eibach-ant ... 222361.htm

did you notice a difference? I also feel like the car leans a bit too much for my taste and I looked into upgrading the antiroll bar.

I think that rear is pretty wobbly with standard suspension even with low profile tires. Rear roll bar or strut brace would help. I think lowering will help you more than sway bar on front and make it settle way better. The front is allready stiff enough.
Lowering+ stifffer and wider tires and pushing those wheels to the edge helps a lot and transforms the feeling and stability of the car so much!
Thats my opinion on it.

since lowering it means upgrading to a sport springs or coilovers I assume that would be enough to make the car not as tilty. I was wondering if just upgrading the rollbars did a noticeable difference. I would upgrade to sport springs but the way my country paves roads that isn't really an option.

Roll bar It will improve stability for sure. Make the car more stiff over bumps.
