sorry, 16v suspension on a vr6

Recommended Posts

i'm sure this has been talked about on here before, tried the search and got loads of stuff, but could not find the answer :oops:

 

anyway i want to get my FK AK's replaced, there 2 crashy for a 36 year old :lol: i have been offered a set of spax adjustables for very good money, but they are from a 92 2.016v, i have some vr6 PI springs in the garage that i got ages ago, ready for for some quality shocks.

 

but what i'm not 100% about, are the dampers, will they be ok??

 

thanks

Hate to spoil your fun but I knew someone with PI springs on their VR and they hated them but as we all know suspension is a matter of opinion.

Eibach springs and Weitec 40-mm shortened dampers is about the most comfortable you will find and even that can be too much. The Spax TA's will drive you mad they are so hard. G-Max used to be a very comfortable kit but I haven’t used them fore a while.

Urgh.

 

A corrado with Eibach springs was properly the worst riding C I have been in.

 

2cc has Koni TAs and PI springs on his car and I think it is one of the best riding C's I have ever been in. Mind you Koni TAs and H&R springs are a great combo on a VR too.

cheers for that guys, but what i really want to know is, will 16v shocks be ok on a vr6, as long as i use vr springs??

Should be, late valvers and VR's shared the same spring/damper package.

 

Koni supply a range of dampers for the Corrado but they do specify the same set of dampers as an option for both VRs and 16v/G60s.

 

I would stick them on and see what its like, the problem comes in trying to get a good match for spring/damping combo without one being dominante and destroying the ride or handling.
