Title: santa monica sports supension?
Post by: m4rt1ngti on 31 May 2012, 21:29
Hey

How can i tell if my car has the sports suspension package?

It has genuine santa monicas fitted which i think were put on from day one but im not sure.

Is there any way of telling if the suspension is the uprated kit?

You won't have 'sports suspension'. The only differences in suspension, that I am aware of, is the R32 and the anniversary edition. Apart from that the rest of the golfs will the same set up.

The R32 has its own 4wheel drive suspension set up, individual wishbones I think  :undecided:

Anniversary is 25mm lower I think. 25mm maybe off, but it is defo lower!

If the santa monica alloys where put on as an upgrade from new then it would. Part of the wheel package included sports suspension.

I just dont know the difference between stock gti sus and the sports package
