So the car is 95 VR6 Jetta Rims are 17” OZ’s, rubber is Azenis 615’s, with a Nuespeed 28mm rear adjustable bar that I put in this spring. The RSB really made the car neutral with some very predictable trail brake/lift off rotation and put the car into a great space feel wise, it is set on softest setting. Alignment is the maximum that I can get with stock settings, of 2+ degrees on the fronts, 1/16 toe out. Then...I added a WaveTrac LSD and the car is great except in transition corners like 5a & 5b at Pacific Raceways. This is a 60+ left followed by flowing sharp’ish right hand turn. I am getting a lot of over steer particularly in this turn sequence, where the car was very neutral before. I can feel the rear getting a little out in other turns, but it is that left right combo that is a wee hairy.
I have H&R cupkit that is going away over the winter, and want to know what I need to do spring wise on the new setup to make the car not wallow, which induced a spin into 5b and was skittish all day through there, and I would like to plant the rear end better. I am thinking the Ground control coil sleeves, Koni sports, and spring rates of 400lb front and 340lb rear. It seems that with all the traction in the front right now that I am getting a very swishy rear end, and transition side to side is really exacerbated, making the car feel hard to catch as the transition is fairly sudden.
Thoughts anyone? I know the Jetta is going to have a little more wallow than a GTi would due to the weight out back, but how to counter as much of it as I can?
Thanks, Scott
