Lupo TDI Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 how much you asking for? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> are they 6 or 6,5 x 15"? But I still want the s3's in 17"...although they look quite a lot the same.there's a thicker front stabi by KAW, which seems to be perfect for lowered loops.The front roll bar: GTI: no idea (sorry...)16v: 20mmothers: 18mmmaybe the GTi`s is 22mm? But as I said, I've no idea. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bAAx Posted June 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 rudy, called KAW, they dont have a stabilisators for the GTi, seems they too found that existing was enough.call eibach myself aswell, and they too dont know the diameter of the original bar, but, as said, their stabiliser is 21mm..all a bit "à l'improviste" if you ask me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />as for the alloys style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />... 6.5J x 15 tyre size 205/45 R15 ..asking price starting around 595€, theyre in `as-good`-`as-new` shape... if you want to see em, we might arrange a meeting style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />, finally style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 the bar on the loop is a chunky little ******, i'd be dubious of how much of an improvement the replacement would give and i had them fitted on my ibiza. if you compare eibachs to std golf mk3 bars then you see the difference, but with loop i'm not so sure.

bAAx Posted June 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 dont think that is fitted actually, got the price directly from ppl @ eibach, not some dodgy mechanic. good steel is expensive you know style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />and i hope ill soon get a chance to measure the diameter of said bar, to clear up the uncertainty style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> the ppl @ eibach told me that for the golf they made a replacement then VW changed the standard spec to the eibach thickness, so there was no longer the need to upgrade...maybe they got it good the first time on the GTi, well soon find out..
