littlekev Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Been looking at different suspension kits for the lupo, not wanting to spend £500 on suspension and not really fussed about coilovers. Looking at the koni kit for a reasonable price but it doesn't list it for the gti. I know the rear shocks are the same for all models but why is the front different for the gti. Will it fit? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skajme Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 it's because the GTI has a slightly wider track up front, so the front struts need to be slightly different to accommodate this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk1978 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I've just paid £400 for vogtland coilovers for the GTi if that's any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Whats the difference with the GTI struts? I assumed it was just spring ratings. Pretty sure I have GTI Bilsteins on my TDI but could be wrong as I bought them a couple of years ago lightly used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I am indeed. I bought mine when the euro was down from Holland. I'd have to think how much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally start from a bit low to very low and everything in between being adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlekev Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 On a different note, went out to the garage and noticed the appropriately placed empty brewdog box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
