Will 2wd TT suspension fit Octy?

richm · 26-10-2007, 14:07

Does anyone know for certain if 2wd TT front struts and rear dampers will fit Octy vRS? Moving on from that, are the damping rates going to be wildly wrong considering the weight difference.. (assuming the TT is a bit lighter?)
In principle the 2wd TT uses essentially the same Golf4 gear, but just wondering if anyone has firsthand experience?
Cheers!

Problem is the vRS doesnt use regular MK4 Golf suspension, the front ARB arangment is different.

Hi
Sorry as Lummox said , they are different
You need to have specific Octy vRS suspension for it , as this car is only specific to that model

ah... good point.. I forgot that - that could save some head banging when I realised later LOL. OK, plan B

Is there any info about anywhere describing the actual differences?

The difference physically is the drop link for the ARB on the vRS mounts to the damper, on the TT 2WD it mounts to the lower wishbone.

I think the front setup off a 4wd drive TT would be the same though. I think all the 4wd's the vRS and LCR share the same front setup (excluding spring and damper rates).

Indeed physically they are the same.
