205 Dturbo Beam

[mmcgtk 2]

Is the 205 beam the same as the 1.6 gti drum beam or base line axle? arb size and tb size ? trail arms etc

More like an xs iirc, not gti.

what would be the best way to tell just measure the tb? what is the xs tb size? is there a sticky on this site with all the different models of beams and sizes?

Iirc, 18mm or 18.5mm for diesel beam

[mmcgtk 2]

is there much difference between the 18mm and 19mm torsion bars?

If you are upgrading, then your dturbo will have a thinner arb aswell

my plan was to put my good axle from a (base model) and get a gti arb and torsion bars to swap onto the base model axle, along with some solid mounts

 

I was going to leave the drums on the back, as I cant see discs being a major improvement, for the time being

 

suspension wise from my research , I am going for some eibach springs and b4s,solid top mount rubbers, omp strut brace and sub frame brace and standard gti-6 rear dampers
