Is this normal driving, or when your driving enthusiastecly or on a track? I would say to the OP, if your a steady driver then I wouldn't bother. If you like driving hard or track days, do it.

OOPS....... I have Gaz custom coilovers on the front and standard GTi torsion bars with Gaz dampers on the rear... Handled Castle Combe rally day brilliantly and beat some big cars....
Lets put it this way.... If you can drive a car well, Have decent dampers, You dont need a stiff rear end, But as a rule... what you do to the front, also do to the rear.... Paul, I agree with you for road use
