B6 Handling Upgrade

Post by mercedeslimos »

SO, I've had my B6 for 7 years now.

I've got KW Variant 2 Coilivers fitted to it. I want to improve the handling further whilst retaining daily-driver ride comfort. It has 240BHP from a modified TDI and 18" Phaeton hollow-spoke wheels.

I was thinking about poly bushes to certain components, and narrowly missed some cheap RacingLine anti-roll bars (not paying £400 for a pair).

I'm taking it to the 'ring in June, and my coilovers are away with KW UK for a rebuild as we speak.

I've 4-pot Mercedes AMG Brembos and R36 345mm front brakes fitted.

Is there anything I can do to improve things?
The KWs are amazing but somehow I feel that it still doesn't have the handling of a MK5 GTI or Octavia vRS.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Sam
