vern 0 Posted January 21, 2007 I have fitted GTI shocks to my diesel workhorse, and I am sure it has raised the ride height. Would this be possible, do the shocks have different spring pan heights? or something like that?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted January 22, 2007 I fitted gti shocks & springs to my old diesel & it lowered the car about 20mm. If the spring pan heights are different then yes it is a possibility but afaik it is the same height on all 205 front shocks. Did you strip the shocks down & if so have you refitted everything for the top mount in the correct order? Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted January 22, 2007 I did strip the strut down, as was using the original diesel springs, with a set of nearly new GTI shocks. And as far as could tell it went back right ie it all worked and looked right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted January 22, 2007 Were the springs seated againt the spring pan stops or turned slightly away from them? Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enfield 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Have you driven it since you fitted the springs? I've fitted GTi shocks and springs to my diesel and I think it might be a tad lower. Compared the springs of the GTi ones to the standard ones and the GTi ones were much much shorter but a lot stiffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
