Gti6 axle on a estate

[Danny2009]

I've got a gti6 axle will it fit on a estate? Thanks

[cwspellowe]

It will, it's what I have. The torsion bars are a bit on the soft side for it though.

[spike2002]

Yes :p

[Danny2009]

Hmm why they a bit soft mate? Thought they had thick torsion bars?

[puglove]

No estates have bigger TBs and bigger ARBs than a gti to deal with the weight difference. What phase is the estate you have?

[cwspellowe]

Late phase 3 HDI's have 21mm torsion bars, GTI6's have 20mm. They're ok, just too soft for my liking. Then again I have my own reasons why they're too soft...

[Danny2009]

Ph2 meridian, may not bother fitting it then

[spike2002]

A phase 2 meridian estate will have 20mm tb's the same as the gti only some late phase3 estated had 21mm so the gti beam will be fine

[Danny2009]

Don't know if its worth the hassle then may weigh the beam in with the car
