Suspension Overhaul
#1
My beam is buggered, and have been offered a VTS beam. I understand this has slightly bigger bars in than a GTi6 beam. Can someone confirm this?

Also, the chap with the beam has the rest of the VTS and I assume it would pay to grab the front ARB and struts too? I've an HDi and concerned the springs maybe too soft? I don't want the car stupidly low!

Correct, the bars are bigger, and the trailing arms also have slightly more camber.

Grab the shocks and front arb too Smile they'll be better

Would VTS struts/springs drop the car though?

Is the Vts beam rebuilt?
Every one I've come across has been fubar'd!

I thought the camber was exactly the same, and the VTS just had a fraction more toe in??
