Do engine/suspension modifications negatively affect ESP???
I am planning to modify my ESP equipped TT, however I am worried that they may affect the ESP system. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I wouldn't think that typical mods would affect it....
But depending on the extent of the changes you want to make, some you might want to study a bit more.
I believe many ESP systems use a series of sensors to track vehicle attitude. The input (specific wheel speed, yaw readings, etc.) are then processed, the driver's intended course is projected, and some type of control input is applied to facilitate the car safely along the intended path. I wouldn't think that more power / a stiffer, lower suspension would have too dramatic an impact, as long as they don't defeat or confuse any of the sensors.
Marius, I have a hunch you might be able to add to this discussion.... What do you think?
