Heavy duty anti roll bars would be the first thing to try, they make a world of difference.Good morning, someone who have the same opinion. It is very clearly felt in very winding roads. Feels like it can sometimes tip. But it is a heavy car. Someone know what upgrade what is possible.

Although with uprated RARB, if they're too stiff they can shift the bias such that the back end might try and let go before the front, which is fun in a hatchback, but not sure how manageable oversteer in 3 tonnes of camper would be (not to mention flying crockery).Heavy duty anti roll bars would be the first thing to try, they make a world of difference.

Nice to see someone who actually understands vehicle dynamics. Often OEM will only fit front arb for this very reason. Only fit /uprate rear to match front.Although with uprated RARB, if they're too stiff they can shift the bias such that the back end might try and let go before the front, which is fun in a hatchback, but not sure how manageable oversteer in 3 tonnes of camper would be (not to mention flying crockery).
Many moons ago I had a car (fairly ordinary hatchback) which I heavily modified for track use, including adjustable RARB, coilovers, shocks etc. etc. but still used as a daily driver. It was beautifully neutral on the limit, virtually no roll etc. and only understeered if you were deliberately clumsy with the loud pedal (it was FWD), but when it let go, it let go in style!!Nice to see someone who actually understands vehicle dynamics.
