cjg117 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 The coilovers are KW v1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 They would, but I assume the spring rates would be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjg117 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Therefore the ride could be to stiff or to soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Probably soft as the GTI would likely be heavier at the front, so more diving on braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't thing the spring rates would be noticably different. TDI front would be heavier in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjg117 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ok thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) In theory the bottom mounting bracket should be deeper to accommodate the wider track (standard lupo shock absorbers have different mounting brackets).In practice, all coilovers I have seen look to have the same sized bracket.
