B5VWC 0 Posted November 14, 2003 Hello I am new to this forum but just like to say hi and so far i have gained a lot of useful info from this site so far as i am looking for a Corrado VR6. The reason for the topic is that i have a Golf MK3 GTi 16v which has Koni Coilovers and 17inch Alloys I noticed on Koni's website that Koni Coilover part 1150-5002-1 for the Golf 3 16v/vr6 is also the same for the Corrado vr6 so would this be a possible swap or would there be a difference The 17inch Alloys are 5stud same as Corrado VR6(i think) but i guess the offset would be different in this case or not? If you guys have any ideas or advice let me know. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted November 14, 2003 your KONI's will swap right over.........as my KONI's are also applicable to both MK3 16v GTi and VR6's and as for offset can't remember off-hand :oops: but its either ET 38 or 43 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ess Three 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Hello I noticed on Koni's website that Koni Coilover part 1150-5002-1 for the Golf 3 16v/vr6 is also the same for the Corrado vr6 so would this be a possible swap or would there be a difference Straight swap...as roddy says. You'll find the front dampers a bit softer on the Corrado VR6 as it has the extra weight to make them a little less harsh...I have the Koni kit on my 16v Mk34 and although they are good, you can tell that they would probably be a little softer on a VR6 engined car. The 17inch Alloys are 5stud same as Corrado VR6(i think) but i guess the offset would be different in this case or not? They'll be fine if they are anywhere between ET43 and 35. I used to run 7 1/2 x 17 ET35 on my last Golf....currently run 7" x 16 ET 43...both will fit a Corrado well, and due to the larger arches of the Corrado, should provide no rubbing issues.
