Anti Lift Kit on Bora 4Motion

[PranK]

I wouldn't buy any after market kit until the existing suspension components have been checked and any worn bushes/joints replaced, followed by a wheel alignment. At the same time check your tyres, incorrect pressures, cheapo tyres etc, can make a huge difference to handling. Also, are you sure your rear end is working? Can you spin the front wheels?

My Bora 4mo is now running std R32 suspension (shocks and springs), R32 front lower rear control arm bushes (solid v the very flexible std 4mo ones) and a euro spec rear R32 sway bar, R32 Mags with Michelin Pilot Sport 3's.

But with all that stuff how is your understeer?

I did the ECS refresh kit about 5 years ago (minus wishbones). Standard sway Bars (F&R), Bilstein B8s with eibach springs.

Wheel alignment is good and I'm wearing Continental Contimax tyres which are unreal.

There's one set of traffic lights on my home commute, when you go through them you go hard left. Accelerating through that hard left is horrible! The understeer is just nuts. It's my test corner when I do anything to my suspension.

Mine will understeer If I chuck it into a corner and then stamp on the throttle, it's a front drive bias set up with a heavy lump up front. I find if I feed the power on through a corner it grips like a limpet. Slow in, fast out works well.

Agreed. I did have some concern regarding the internal clutch pack, the whole thing just sounded a little too good to be true.

I did however find the below which sounds good.

I'm running the UM tune in the haldex, UM are a very good company to work with never had a problem with them (you have to ship your haldex controller to them). Love the tune aswell not that i've had the best chance to test it.

Fundamentally, you just cant change some components and expect to change the general handling balance of the car.
Some people will tell you adding a thick rear anti roll bar will cure understeer - but it's a lot more complicated than that.
I'm my personal experience you can compromise the wet weather handling and safety of a car a lot by doing that.
In some ways it's worth mentioning that it's cheaper, and more effective, to adjust your driving style. I don't mean that facisously, but it's really true.
PranK, 5 years and x km might well be long enough to have worn or broken the rear lower wishbone bushings, but TT/R32 or poly bushings will fix that.
You can get a super proud kit that adds some castor angle to the front which is a really good way to improve the front grip level.
I hope that is some help ��

Yeah I've heard about people having problems with tail happiness from bit fat rear sway bars.

I should get under the front and so some inspections all around. I did replace must bushes when I bought the car but not sure if there are any that were missed.

Thanks gldgti. Btw I've been driving rwd and rwd bias AWD cars most of my life (Skyline gtrs etc) so my driving style could very well be compromised.

Darkside Developments - YHW Powertrack Insert for Haldex First Generation - 50/50

Just reading a view on Audi's forums regarding these inserts.
Powertrack insert, about to go in!! | Audi-Sport.net

Quote "If its running 50/50 all the time then the clutch is fully engaged so the pump is running all the time to keep the clutch engaged so thats the only thing you will have reliability problems with"

clutch plates would wear sooner as well I imagine. Probably a good idea for track days, screw in, track it, screw out. But no good on daily drive.

No good for somebody trying to baby their car to 300k's!
