Philplop Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Yeah, what's the advantage? There's already plenty of choice. And you know that GTI suspension is slightly different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Height and rebound adjustble, zinc plated, built and designed in the UK, rebuildableim building a track car, and i really dont want to put on something made of old shopping trolleys that only exsists to make the sump hit the floor or on the other end buy a KW V3 kit (only thing i can see similar on the market) at £1100 on what ever they are, ive got 3 cars running on this make of coilover allready and been nothing but impressed by themall i am trying to do is get some prototypes made up which i need a standard front a rear shock and a rear spring, something which i dont have currently and thought someone may have laying aroundit imagine price wise at a guess you'd be looking around £550 for a full kit but need to prototype it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 And you know that GTI suspension is slightly different?out of intrest how does it differ ? thought the only diffrences were a possible shorter shock by around 10mm and diffrent bump and reboud rates ?

Philplop Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 GTI suspension has slightly different camber adjustment holes I think, when people fit non-GTI coilovers to GTI's they often have to elongate the holes to give them enough adjustment to set the camber correctly.Suppose that problem could be solved by putting in longer holes to start with.I'm not sure if there are any more differences.
