Gti Springs On Dturbo

[Russ_T 1]

Hello,

 

Just a quicky, some GTi springs just turned up for my DTurbo.

 

Do I need to change the shocks at all? I'm hoping for just a bit of a drop. I have GTi-6 rear shocks at the moment. I know I could do with uprating torsion bars and arbs, but for now will the springs sit ok in my DTurbo cups?

 

Thanks!

Providing that your existing dampers are in good order, they'll work fine with GTi springs and sit a bit lower.

they'll fit fine, though not sure what kind of height you will end up with.

When I fitted gti subframe,dampers, springs etc to my n/a diesel it lowered it around 30mm.

Thanks chaps, bring on some better weather so I can get cracking

 

If my shocks seem a bit tired when I get in there what's the best bet for new shocks, some stock GTi ones or aftermarket?

 

Cheers

This is my old STDT on 309 GTI springs with group N top mount rubbers, it sat about 10mm higher on 205 GTI springs iirc.

Looks nice mate, what tyre size were you using?

Long gone now though.

Shame looks really nice mate Was under the impression though that a 55 profile would have to be used on ghetto shells...

That's not a ghetto shell, it's an STDT which used a GTI shell & the XUD7T engine, GTI front subframe & an XS spec rear beam but I fitted all GTI bits when I rebuilt the beam.
