I was out in the snow the other day and my car does seem to understeer less since the new springs

I have the Vogtland club spec springs now. I just want to make sure that it wasn't in my head. I should be able to notice the difference even when only doing ~10mph right?

axis spins are so easy now

Default Yes, it's the springs. I have the same ones, and absolutely love the balance fo the car in turns.

Right now the Neuspeed rear sway is set to stiff, which is a bit much with all the snow driving I've been doing. But in the summer its great. A little understeer going in, and a little overstear coming out. About as good as it gets with this chassis.

Default Do you have the Koni shocks as well?

if so what do you have the dampening set at? I went with another B5 users recommendation of 85% in the front and 80% in the rear. That car seems to bounce a bit with small bumps. I'm not so sure if thats to be expected or if the dampening is off a bit

the club spec springs are much more neutral than most would expect. ~360/360 fr/rr rates help a lot

Sorry, but I can't comment. I use Bilstein Sports.
