Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • front end roll stiffness

    In setting up the front end of my car, I'm seriously considering retaining the stock springs and adding roll stiffness with a FARB only. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has done this. Where I'm a bit stuck is that the whiteline chart shows that a 22mm bar should be 46% stiffer than the stock one and a 23mm bar (or a 22mm on its stiffest setting) should be 75% stiffer, but I don't know how this is going to translate into actual roll stiffness . So if anyone has taken that route I'd like to know if a bar change added plenty enough roll stiffness on its own, or if it was insufficient and springs just had to follow.
    P.S this is for a street car thats going to have koni dampers to hopefully handle the pitch/dive problems the car will still probably have without stiffer front springs.
