Title: R32 Full suspension
Post by: prepree on March 13, 2009, 08:35:42 pm: HELP!!!
Ive been offered a full set of R32 suspension, all four shockers, all four springs, all four hubs & two rear arms. They have covered 1800 miles before he upgraded to coils.

I have a couple of questions tho, does the R32 sit any lower than the GTi? If so how much?

Im also presuming they will fit a GTi as well!!??

As i said been offered them for 180 which seems a good price, is there anything else i need to consider?

Thanks for your help already guys!! Sorry if its a silly question!

The front shocks will also be very different to GTI ones to cope with that heavy lump :happy2:
