As the slightly amusing title suggests im looking athe the rear torsion bar again and need to make the rear rnd just a tad stiffer to reduce rub but need to pull on peoples wisdom and experience.
1. Rear end is a little bouncy. On a gti rear axel and arb (standard estate failed and cambered) with bilstein b4 rear dampers which are only a slight upgrade over standard. Would a set of gaz help stiffen shiz up?
2. Would i benifit from powerflex bumpstops? Currently 10mm off riding on them, but this 10mm difference is causing the scrub as when i fasten a spacer between the trailing arm and bump stop i no longer scrub. There is still travel with a spacer in place which i believe to be the bumps stop compressing.
3. Over large bumps ive got a beautiful knock from the rear which i think is the mounts. Are solid mounts any good considering these will be home made or stick to original bushes? (Never driven a solid mounted beam so anyone shed some light to how they feel please)
