Evening all, been looking into a strut brace for the a mk3 golf with 1.8t to help with torque steer and general pulling/snaking under hard acceleration. Does anyone here have experience with fitting strut brace to front wheel drive cars? I’ve sen this is available also: https://id-workz.co.uk/products/ultra-racing-front-lower-brace-volkswagen-golf-mk3-gti-93-99 Any one have any thoughts? Tyres are correct pressure and I have quaife lsd.
Reallly? Did you change tyre size? Or just brand? Iam on 205 50 15 Yokohama advan ad08. I have thought about bigger wheels/tyres but I want to keep the bbs’s What car/engine can I ask also?
Error, they are 195/50. A taller side wall will likely increase torque steer, also a softer sidewall. 205\50 gives you a side wall of 102.5mm, 195/50 is 97.5mm. Not much difference but some. I did notice that the Michelins had a stiffer sidewall over the Toyos. The age of your tires will make a difference too, harder and worn is no good for grip or directional stability.
Thanks for the info on the sidewall. 195 vs 205 wasn’t something I had considered. Nor was brand change either! my current tyres have a fair bit of life in them still and will have to get my moneys worth out of them before new ones
