GTI suspension on a 1100

Does any one know if i can put GTI suspension on my 1100 and will it make any difference to the handling.  Cheers Phil

Yes it will bolt on. I imagine the antirol bars will make the most difference.

yes it does, however due to the difference in weight between gti and 1.1 ride will be affected(firm to very firm) and ride height(high)!

not sure if I am right as I havent got around to doing mine yet, but I think you may need to change the track control arms in order to have the anti roll bar. I remember reading somewhere that the small block cars dont have anything for the ARB to attach to.

Not sure if you would need gti wishbones as the front ARB bolts to it, also you might need a rear beam as well for the same reason (ARB), cant remember if they have the locations on the smaller engined cars. But loads of people are using non gti shells now so someone on here must know.

You can drill the holes in both the arms and rear beam, but you might want to have a GTi to compare to whilst you do it.

The wishbones only cost fifteen quid each from GSF and they come with the fitting kit, worth it for the price i reckon :y:

maybe ill be investing in a new set of arms then!!

Had a look at my rear beam last night and looks like you could upgrade a non gti version if you get the straps that hold the ARB ends. They go around the swing arms and locate it with a bush
