Floppy RS2 rear end?

[urS6]

Hey...

I have been driving my stock urS6 for several years now. The rims have grown from OEM 16 to 17 to OEM S4 Avus 18 with 235/40 tyres. It has Bilstein shox with stock springs.
I have had the stock RS2 for almost a year now and still cant get used to the floppy rear end? I hav recently loaded Bilstein shox (stock springs) all round...I have to say I expected that this might make a significant difference. But no!?

It is possible that the urS6 18rim/40 profile combo can be the difference. Does the stock RS2 245/40 on the narrow 17in give that rolling feeling when you give steering input mid corner?

Or is that just how a stock RS2 behaves?

Anyone with an urS6/ RS2 combo care to comment???? Anyone!?

Confuddled!

What are the bushes like on the RS2 to the urS6? If they are warn badly it will not help?

Sounds like you need to replace the tyres.

245/40ZR17 on the standard rims can only be Dunlop SP8000. Any other tyre is not designed to be fitted to a 7" rim

tyres!

Interesting .... Thanks Mike!
Continental Sport Contact 2 - 245/40 are on now??

Yep this is an old RS2 issue. You need 225/45/17 to cure your 'floppiness'. Many threads here and on RS246 forum.

Thanks Alastair!
Maybe I should look into 18in while I am at it...?
