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

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

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

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...

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

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