Hi all,

Quick question, but will GTI suspension fit my 6n2 1.0.

I am of the opinion they will as the chassis is next to identical, but id like someone to clarify this for me

Cheers!

As long as the strut bolts up the same at the top...then yeah, can't see why not.

Yeah i'd guess so - I mean there isn't any specific 6n2 Gti coilovers is there?

Why would you want gti suspension though? It's only 10mm lower then stock IIRC

Its 60mm lower than mine anyhow (so id say the coils would be 60mm shorter than my ones) - i had a measure against a mates GTI theres a fair bit in it strangely enuff. Beleive me mine is rather high!

hmmm, not sure about that - Unless there not standard springs?

Who knows - i havent had my car from new so I havent a clue if its had different shocks put in. I know the previous owner was older and disabled which says to me nothing has been changed but who knows!

I'd be very doubtful that they're standard springs.

GTi suspension should only be 10-15mm lower than a standard 6N2.

i would say yes, coz a gti is a 6n2 isnt it? so that must mean anything that is non gti will fit, except for things like engine etc LOL
