Suspension Mistake!

[ProjectBus]

That’s what I had on my T5.1

Mine is the DSG too, might have a new set of 20’s for sale soon then?! How can you tell if it stress’s the gearbox?

I had 17” on from when I got it then put 20” the drive never felt right to me. But that’s me I have gone back to 17” and the van dries and feels like it did when I brought it. It’s up to you pal

I think any wheels that are over sized for the vehicle will stress out gearbox and clutch.

Yeah, I just don’t want to screw up the warranty. I guess it’s trial and error. There’s a lot of people running 20’s so I guess they can’t do too much damage? I’ll run it for a few days on standard wheels to get a feel for them.

Surely if they are a similar rolling circumference though they shouldn’t stress things too much?

Are you looking for the look ? Projectbus

Yes I do want it to look good but it’s also got to be practical and I’ll be using it as a daily driver for a few months so don’t want it too firm or too low

I would go for the b14 lowering coilovers. Then you can adjust your ride

Yes I think that’s probably the best option but it’s also the most expensive! I suppose I’m just being a bit tight and trying to achieve the same result without blowing over a grand!

If you’re planning on keeping it for years then it will payoff

Yeah, good call. Thanks again for your help it’s very much appreciated. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Or go for the stance coilovers kit cheaper but you know what they say buy cheap buy twice

No problem wait and see what others have to say. Everyone likes to ride different

Wait and save up more pennies. I am saving mine for a revo engine and DSG map. From Bognormotor

Just had these fitted to my T32. Transformed the ride comfort and the look.
100% recommended CRS.
I’m running 17inch Devonports.
The van is soo much better now, I’ve renamed it Dougal.
