slippery when wet
 
how twitchy is the back end on a wagon as mine seems to like to step out any time its wet.I dont mind it too much and i know the tyres on it arent the best make but just wondered if it is a trait of the car.
Also if its not,and other than changing the tyres (and slowing down) is there anything else I could do to make it handle better in the wet

Drop you tyre presure by 10psi take off your rear anti-roll bar, if you have coilovers back them off. Try it you might be suprised!!! :drive:

Ive still got my coilovers on the hardest setting... its been interesting when on boost

scooby999 12-11-2010 07:17 PM

Is it hard to take the rear anti-rollbar off

No! If you make a cup of coffe then take your roll bar off it will still be warm enough for you to drink! :drive:

May be worth dropping the pressure as nige says, and also depends how good or bad the tyres are. Its not a trait of a wagon to step out at the rear.

You dont have to take the bar right off, just remove the droplink from one end, also try 1.5mm of toe in.
