I have VSS steering and I'm quite disappointed how the car handles... steering feels filtered and light/over assisted on high speeds. On turns I really feel body rolling - like my old GOLF IV. I'm really looking forward to improve all of this asap.

From what I've researched on other forums, these are the cheapest top priorities:
1. Rear Underbody brace;
2. [COLOR="Silver"]Rear subframe bushes;[/COLOR]
3. New Front Sway bar;
4. Bilstein B4.

I'm also considering upgrading my 16" wheels to bigger 17" but I don't know if this will improve car handling.

Please let me know what you think of this and if you have other suggestions.
Thanks!

Hello again...
So 2 years after the new setup (prokit springs + oem shocks), I'm getting intense metallic squeaking from left rear wheel and I really need to do something about it... from what I've been reading might be the springs.

Did anyone with lowering spring + oem shocks had the same problem? Any suggestion?
Thanks
