Hi, guys
bit of an emergency, my golfs at the mechanic and I gave him the 55 mm struts off a gti along with springs and hub for a conversion, but he's saying it doesn't fit because it's hitting the drive shaft???? I'm confused about this as I thought the hubs would fit with gti suspension on them to a 1.9 tdi as a golf gti is still a golf... please shed some light into this as the longer my cars on the ramp the more it's costing me! :(

Golf is a Golf BUT diesel VS petrol will have difference shocks and springs weights due to the weight over the front axle

I know, which is why I bought the gti DSG suspension from the breakers as this accounts for an extra 80kg, meaning the weight of the petrol gti dsg is pretty much exactly the same :grin:
Problem is apparently the gti dsg anti roll bars angle when mounted will mean it hits the drive shaft they tell me... very odd... if they cant install the bar I will get it done somewhere else! or just see how it handles with a gti rear bar and a tsi front bar :rolleyes:
