Title: a quick PAS question?...
Post by: brother10 on 27 May 2005, 13:03

... is the PAS set up from a  '91 16v  OK to put into my  '90 8v????

there is differences in the systems. but yes a 16v system will fit an 8v

there is 3 PAS racks

non-Gti - lightest to turn
8v gti
16v gti - heaviest to turn

the difference

16v has the best feel/feedback

I have read that the 16v PAS rack is slightly 'quicker' than the 8v PAS rack, which would be why it feels heavier as Gambit said :)

8v with 195/50/15 is bang on, plenty of feedback and easy to turn in if car driven well :grin:
