2.0 extra weight?
«

Am still considering having a 2.0 bottom end in light of the fact I seem to have ring wear. I'm wondering how much heavier the bigger lump is than a standard 1.8 16V one. Is the weight significant enough to affect ride height/spring settings or are we talking 10kg or something silly?? Thanks.

will not affect handling or ride height at all.

not noticeably, the stroke is increased by the crank being slightly more angled, about it really, certainly won't cause any major upsets to the balance of the car.

Good to know, thanks. Just wondered if anyone has the figures though -- to work out power to weight, etc. What do we reckon, an extra 50kg??
