another suspension question!

[btmotorsport]

just a quickie! I want a new setup for my 1.8t sport, will a mk4 setup work? I'm sure it'll fit but will the spring and damping rates be right?


Cheers

 

[abdus]

yep. I ahve that setup on mine

Eibach springs and GAZ adj dampers

 

[btmotorsport]

cracking stuff, how do you get on with that setup?

 

[coleen]

as far as im awake the model b4 mine (2006) should have the same fitments as th likes of a mk4, bora, skodia octavia and a few more

 

[abdus]

cracking stuff, how do you get on with that setup?

nothing to complain yet.

the adjustable dampers are excellent and the settings on them do make a difference

 

[btmotorsport]

how much did they cost and low do they go?

[abdus]

[abdus]

YES, mk4 golf will fit on an 8L a3

 

[S3mad]

Is it ok to go around 35mm on standard parts apart from springs?

 

[abdus]

would be better to get uprated shocks.

 

[S3mad]

yes but my shocks are fine !

would be better to get uprated shocks.

The original statement is correct the FWD mk4 golf suspension will fit a FWD A3.

The FWD mk4 golf will NOT fit an A3 Quattro or an S3

The 4Motion mk4 golf will fit an A3 Quattro but will NOT fit a FWD A3
