Handling Upgrades
Discussion
As part of my personal fleet I have a Griff and an M3 -the M3 lacks the soul and looks of the Griff, but despite the power differental is a different league when it comes to handling and ride. What can I do to the Griff to get it closer to the M3 in respect of handling? Or should I just continue to enjoy the Griff for what it is and put up with its idiosyncracies?
Get the suspension/cambers/tracking geometries checked. Can be out when delievered fro the factory, or if your bushes have been replaced or a number of other reasons...
THIS CAN make a huge difference in the handling, before you go to any huge expense, plus check tyres and pressures. After my rear tyres were replaced, my griff felt really awfullly tail happy, I PUT IT DOWN TO NEW TYRES ARE SLIPPERY FOR THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED MILES, but it didn't go away, at next service toe out and toe in on the rears, plus cambers out on all 4 wheels.
Feels lke a completely different car. Check that your tyre pressures aren't way out, some tyre places pump them up way to high, feels like bambi on ice.
