The engine in the front of the '6 is heavier and acts like more of an anchor than the 1.8 does. The lighter 1.8 has better handling (IMO) because of this lighter engine, whereas the GTi6 is more prone to over steer because the engine gives the car a kind of 'pendulum' effect, where the back of the car wants to overtake the weighted front end...

Just an idea.
Certainly food for thought!

The shocks are all fine. 1 year old B4s. Haven't checked the ARB but will when I fit my brace.
