1.6 driver mk2

[[han]]

anyoneknow if a 1.6 driver is on gti suspension? a guy at college is adament that it is! i didn't think so - but am happy to be wrong!?  

[Organisys]

I seem to remember the driver has the same factory suspension as the 8v yes, which will make it a little lower and stiffer than the lesser models. Does anyone know if the ARBs are updrated on driver/gti too?

woohoo!!! i got same factory suspension as the 8v - i'm presumin i shud be impressed?

wot he11s ARB's?

[Mr Blue]

ARB's= anti roll bar's

just sussed that out myself

[mjamoose]

I have one of these, good cars and only 1 step down from a GTI!
the 1.6 is still pokey when you put your foot down! Handling is a little softer than I would have expected but stll smooth enough, a great first car IMO

i think that dampers are the same but spring arent as an 8v is 10mm lower and a 16v is 20mm lower,

also i dont think drivers have ARB's? J plates may have them like they have SIP's :wink:m lol

i wish my driver handled like a gti almost as much body roll as a mk3 

[Agreeable Slick]

Drivers share the same dampers as a 8v, but are nowhere near in the same sitting position (ride height), there is a good difference between them and the springs on the driver are not as stiff as on the gti's.

ARB's as far as i am aware the driver does not have them, thought it was only the 16v's that came with them due to the high power. 

In essence your mate is wrong, but to bang a set of gti suspension on there is a easy job.
