Suspension Mistake!

[ProjectBus]

Hi, It appears I've made my first T6 mistake and ordered a coilover kit for a T30 without realising that what is about to arrive this week on my drive is actually a T32?! Probably a schoolboy error and I had no idea, can someone please explain which coilover kit I would need for a T32 please I've got the stance + street kit and the other option for stance seems to be Ultra low?? I'm not looking to drag the floor just want to reduce wheel arch gap. Thanks

Any that are designed for a T32 will work, the T32 has a different front shock to the T30 and below.

Thanks for that info, do you have any suggestions for how low I need to go to remove most of the gap in the arches with 20” wheels? I’ve been looking but it’s a minefield. I could get some 40mm lowering springs for a fraction of the cost of coilovers.

Hi I had some 20” wheels with a 50mm lowering springs they worked well and looked good.

Thank you, it appears that 40-50mm seems to be the most popular, I just don’t want to get it wrong and have to keep buying springs until I get it right!

275/45/20 tyres

are you sure that’s far too big for 20”

 

[ProjectBus]

I can show you mine

That

275/45/20 tyres

that looks great, mine will be on the same size tyres. How does it ride? Did you change shocks or just 50mm springs?

Please try and drive the setup you want to buy first, will save you making the wrong mistake.

 

[Qais2020]

Sorry 275/40/20”

 

[BognorMotors]

That’s better ;-). However a 265/40 is a ‘better’ fit

Yes true it’s the look you want or the drive you want I have gone back to 17” Lol

Springs only not a good ride around town I must say

 

[Qais2020]

Good for motorways sticks to the floor

There’s toooo many options, I don’t know what to do really!!

 

[Qais2020]

I gone back to 17” I think the 20” were stressing out my DSG gear box

 

[Qais2020]

I would say go for 18” and go for the b14 lowering set up

 

[Qais2020]

That’s what I had on my T5.1
