GT 170 Suspension comparison

<< < (2/3) > >>

JoeDarKa:
No idea where i saw the list with the different mods. The GT Sports with the dark headlights came with lowered suspension as Darren said.

Here is mine standard height (GT Sport so should be -15mm):



Lowered on springs so roughly between 30 - 40mm i guess?:

Trekmeister:
I think mine are standard also, was thinking of putting Eiback sportslines on with a 20mm drop.

the bruce:
All GT Sport are lowered by 15 mm, but not as stiff as a GTI.
170 BHP GTs may have slightly different spring becaus of more (front) weight
compared to the 140 BHP.

Look for the Volkswagen Driver Gear springs made by Eibach. These offer
the slightest lowering similar to the pictures shown.  :happy2:


ps:
I'd swap the 288 mm discs for the 312 mm ones  :wink:

The 170tdi  BMN engine is the exact same engine has the 140tdi BKD its just the turbo/manifold, injectors and ecu that are different so no weight difference. Same block and cylinder head.

Bikerz:
My 170 GT TDI is lower then that pic of the 140 Joe posted, Infact mine looks as low as his on teh 35mm springs
