.. for a standard 1.9 Dturbo setup in decent condition like? Compared to a '6.
I *THINK* the shocks on front are from a '6 as ride height appears similiar at front, the rear has defo been adjusted but only by a bit - i.e. sensibly. No idea about rear dampers or arbs/torsion bars and as i haven't driven a car with proper gti6 setup, i have nothing to compare against.. guess i would have to measure..
Although, the handling is what i'd class as responsive and 'tight'. Little roll, and sharp turn in (somewhat reduced since the 283mm discs.. but still gd!), i have noticed the rear steps out quite nicely but rather too easily, not neccessarily under lifting off accelerator - just under sharp cornering while on power? Would this indicate knackered passive steer bushes thingys? There is no play in rear, camber is fine too.
How thick should the arbs be? I'll stick a picture up shortly. Any thoughts welcomed.
