Hi all

Are there any additional considerations needed when lowering the quattro 170 model? Other than just springs/ dampers etc. I had TT several years back on coilovers and that needed adjustable camber arms on the rear because it was 4wd.

Cheers
Tim

No you should be good to go, just the usual with top mounts and bearings.

Thanks Damien. What was the difference with the TT then out of interest? I don't recall why they were needed - it was 10 or so years ago!

The 8N? It's a totally different platform.

Just wondered if it was applicable to most 4wd systems. Maybe it varies!
