Right so im pretty fed up of running really low, and on the TA coilovers its hardly comfy. And its ruining underneath my scraping everywhere

So ive won some xsara vts shocks/springs cheap on ebay. Anyone ever ran these on a Dt?

Also if there not suitable im looking at same eibach springs. Obviously mostly rated for the gti6. As they'll be going on a dturbo does anyone know how they'll be as in height / ride comfort

Cheers james

They will be fine for a DT. Engine weights are quite similar. Only thing is you may not get the full 30mm drop as they are designed to go with a shortened shock like the B8 but will be fine.

This...


As for the Xsara VTS's, I have a set on the HDi atm, so roughly the same as DT tbh.
