Hi,
For a couple of years owning nice PH 2 - driving the car during summer and winter (winter on Michelin Alpins with 17 inch PH 1 rims). Sometimes participating in an advanced driving programme which also includes driving on a circuit - i.e. last June the Nurburgring
. All together 12.000+ miles a year.
I'm very pleased with the car but like to improve the handling - the response when lifting the throttle in a corner: a quick change from neutral to oversteer (what's new!).
Browsed through the various topics related to this - I still not have a clear picture yet.
The various options, mentioned in a number of posts
- mentioned by Harry (I believe he isn't a member anymore): focus on the flexible rear & more specific the upper mounts (what are the options?)
- a 14 mm antiroll bar rear
- the KW Coilovers - but here the discussion starts as there isn't a common belief the KW will add very much to the already good and improved suspension compared with Ph1, and quite expensive though
- not much to do with the snap oversteer, the KTR solid top mounts (front), what I like is the improved steer response but not sure about the impact on the ride quality - but driving on tarmac/main roads everyday, so should be a concern?
Like to have your views, what's your experiences with the various options (rear/upper mounts, torsion bar, KW 3 on a Ph2, KTR solid top mounts & road use) - and more specific related to Ph 2
Your recommendations, other options to balance and improve the handling further are welcome!.
Thanks Teun
