gl springs vs vtir springs

[lighty01]

hey ppls.. just wondering if there is any difference between the stock gl springs and the vtir springs...

my springs are stuffed and i have vtir springs.. they do fit but is there gonna be any height difference, smoothness in ride etc etc..
thanx

[Waggy]

Yeah I'd say there would be (that's just using the arse-test method though). My Vti-R Coupe rides rougher than my gf's Gli sedan.

i think they might feel they same

but that may be because of the rear sway bar on the vtir, coz the gli does not have one. i'm wondering about this too actually.

[newbie]

just get aftermarket springs.. which are better than both.

i have a gl... eg hatch.. the vtir springs are for ek but they fit..
now that thats clear.. any difference in ride height??

i've always thought that the vti-r suspension would be the better of the two

better shockies at least.

Im pretty sure it'd be different dude..

the suspension would of been revised for the vti-r
Can't see them having the same rate springs in the cxi as the vit-r

got a friend with a stock vti-r and one with a stock cxi, the vti-r outhandles the
cxi.. the ride in the vti-r is also very nice.

EK4 is better handling wise than the CXI , due to stiffer spring rates ( AFAIK) and a rear swaybar / thicker front swaybar.

Dimensions of shocks AND springs for CXI/EK4 , are pretty much the same so they CAN be swapped forward and backward.

there you go! i was right!

my ek4 handles great, and driving my sisters CXI feels like crap

i was thinking of getting the vtir spings compressed.. know any places in syd and roughly how much it will cost?

[phatz]

yikes! my springs!

theres a place in liverpool (all springs?) that does it.. $30 a corner springs to mind but i could be wrong.. never done it..

hey "phatz"
thanx million for the springs.. i was suppose to install it on the weekend but one of my mates said u can lower the car by compressing them.. atm.. my springs are "creakin" when ever i change gear or slow down or wheneva the car tilts.. will check out the place in livo..

[phatz]

no worries dude, how'd u go with them?
