gti6 suspension on a hdi - wibbz - 23-01-2013
hi all is there any difference in the suspension of a gti6 and a hdi and would i benefit from putting the suspension off the 6 onto my hdi
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - Birk - 23-01-2013
The dturbo hdi suspension is apparently the same, but I never felt it on my cars.
It will be the best stiffest standard setup your going to get really.
Do it!

You think how many times the suspension has been replaced at a motor factors, there will only be the arbs that are original.
I say get gti parts if the part numbers are different.

Would the GTI suspension feel stiffer on the XS model?

I always thought that as the '6 lump was heavier if you put '6 suspension on other models the front will be slightly raised, but I could be thinking about lowering springs....
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - puglove - 31-01-2013
Your talking about springs. Wer talking about shocks ARBs etc
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - Toms306 - 31-01-2013
I've got GTi shocks with 35mm eibach lowering springs on my HDi....its more uncomfortable than meridian shocks. Does handle a little better but I cant say whether thats the shocks or the springs making the difference.
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - puglove - 31-01-2013
But hdi Dturbo shocks would be the same tomo
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - Toms306 - 31-01-2013
Indeed but the OP didn't specify if it was a DTurbo or not and I can't see from his avatar.
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - puglove - 31-01-2013
Good point mate but he does own a dturbo hdi so it would be pointless for him to change anything usless the parts were massivly lower mileage.
RE: gti6 suspension on a hdi - Toms306 - 31-01-2013
Ah ok, fair enough then.
