How can i improve my VT's handling ?

[SirNemesis]

I do not see how a strut brace is going to change body roll...

What springs/shocks are you using? What size/brand tyres?

Yeah that's true balls do nothing to change body roll or stiffness purely there just to look good...pfffffftttt

Those strut hats on ebay look too expensive btw.

Yeah that's true swaybars do nothing to change body roll or stiffness purely there just to look good...pfffffftttt

WTF sway bars have everything to do with how much body roll a car has. Did you mean strut brace????

Swaybars and strut braces are not the same thing. Swaybars will help, but IMO decent springs/shocks should be done before you go overkill on a swaybar. It is all about 'the package'.

Well just throwing this in, I installed a Whiteline strut brace in the old VR as the Strut towers where starting to crack. anyway i did a before and after test, and found after installing it the nose just pointed into corners so much better, but then found the ass hanging out much easier lol, they do work, i only installed it to try and stop the flex in the towers to prevent further damage.

Might want to not go around corners at 80kmh then. Or perhaps do something with the rest of your busted suspesion if you're have such a drastic change in handling dynamics after fitting something that aids in chassis flex...

Funny you automatically assume that all the suspension is busted, had everything replaced 10k ago before the brace bar was fitted, Rear/Front shocks & Springs & all sway bar bushes etc all brand new parts.
Again, Its a VR, Alot has changed over the years between the cars, and was fitted to prevent further damage to the cracking body filler around the strut towers.

strut bars shouldn't do much except increase your rice

the front end of the VT VX is reasonbly square and true as it is

sways bars = yes

strut bars = rice

If it effected the handling to the point where it easily induced oversteer, Something was seriously wrong. They DO NOT effect it that drastically. No ammount of self delusion will make it any different.
