I do a lot of enthusiastic driving on the roads of TN, several thousands of twisty road mountain drives. What he is describing sounds similar to what I had in my 2012 R before I put in a different rear diff controller in. Also had a VR6 and G60 Corrado, so I know what snap oversteer feels like. This is my 5th Golf variant including an R. It should not impress anyone but I have logged 150+ hours of track time in my Miatas with various combinations of suspension parts. To eliminate that dance, the vectoring would have to engage quicker or the car rotate on its own to eliminate that quirk. I have seen enough of his car reviews to respect his understanding of how a car behaves. He demonstrates that clearly in the video. He states it is like the torque vectoring has a delay factor that can lead you to initial understeer at higher speed. The handling trait I am describing is the squirrelly behavior near the limits at speed as described by SG. In the Miata world, which I am more familiar with, some AX guys disconnect the rear sway to get the front tires to bite in the relatively slow AX speeds. It made the car more neutral through 97% of the overall turn while the initial 3% of turn in is just slightly less responsive (since my car has more negative camber up front than factory and the front suspension is very responsive- it was very quick to turn in- now that initial response is a hair slower because the rear is firmed up).Įnd result is that overall understeer has been dialed out with the SuperPro 22mm rsb. The small (but larger than factory) SuperPro fits the bill. Through a 70-100mph turn I don’t want the car dancing- I want it behaving neutral. Lift off the throttle too quickly and you can induce snap oversteer.Ī larger rear sway bar will only accentuate snap (lift throttle) oversteer.Ī larger rear sway bar will get the car to rotate more easily- great for something like auto cross, where speeds are lower and you want the car to dance around. As mentioned earlier, let off the throttle during understeer and your car will respond to steering inputs. Understeer is occurring because your front tire’s contact patches are being overwhelmed by being asked to turn and accelerate (or brake) at the same time with too much asking (either in steering or throttle or brake requests). Not exactly.įor the general population, Understeer is inherently safer than oversteer because typically, to shed off understeer all you have to do is lift off the throttle and steering cones back in line.
