Default Stock handling

Ok I have stock suspension, how well will this car handle. I'm a little shy to test it out myself as I flipped my jetta in Dec. and would hate to do the same in the TT. Give me an idea of what this machine can do please.

You just have to be a good enough driver to know how to push a car at its limits pretty much...there's no way to describe exactly what a car's limits are.

The TT pretty much understeers all the time. Just don't nail the brake or let off the throttle in a turn cuz you'll whip the back end out which might freak you out. I can kinda control it and make it fun tho

I dont have a problem doing any of that in my Quattro, but then again like was stated its all in how you drive your car and respond to what it is doing on the road. Its pretty hard to flip considering the low center of gravity unlike a Jetta. Put a 19mm rear sway bar in it, that will help alot with the understeer.

Stiff suspensions are fun! And yes even in a quattro the back end will swing out... when you're doing 70 on the twisties! [sm=gears.gif]

Ohh you crazy chica! I would get the same set up as you but they dont make it as affordable for the 225's.

Moeron $830 and you can have the same shocks and struts, the springs (included in the price) are H&R.
What's the problem?
