Making the roc a bit more pointy?

[Bush27]

Is there anything I can do to make the roc abit more pointy on the front end (more responsive) through the steering? Is this something anti roll bars will do? Can't help but think I have to turn the wheel just abit too much to get where I want it to go

Running a harder tyre compound, like bridgestone or some toyo's will help reduce flex in the sidewall. You could add a little more pressure into the tyres (BEWARE THOUGH AS TOO MUCH COULD CAUSE TYRE FAILURES) I run 35psi in mine.

Alternatively swap for 19'' wheels as they are thinner side walls so would feel more "pointy"

Hope that answers your question?

Thanks Nick

A full geometry set up was one of the best things I had done for my roc's handling.

The WALK (white line Anti lift kit) is very popular with mk5 GTI owners. This sharpens up the steering a lot

The superpro Front, rear console bushes are the same think but much cheaper and better quality. You need a garage with a press to install them in the wishbone console though

Cheers guys ill look at those options

I think part of the problem is relatively "slow" steering on the Roc - ie more turns lock to lock than some other cars. I've noticed I have to turn about quarter of a turn further than my old Civic or Alfa's for the same result, you can sharpen up response but I don't think it's going to get over that basic trait.
