coilover suspension question
« on: 10 March 2015, 20:14 »
Was just wondering if coilovers for the mk5 gti and mk5 golf gt tdi are the same? As in width length etc.

Check the front axle weights. TDI is heavier  :wink:

Thanks for the info. What would happen if you put the gt tdi suspension on a gti?

The Mk5 has 2 strut sizes/diameters (I'm sure both the gti and gttdi are 55mm though?), If you going for lower cost one's they will be all the same spring rating for all engines

(b.t.w I sell fk ak's in both 50 & 55mm versions)
