All-in-one front legs & springs

Spike · 13th September 2020, 17:49

Has anyone fitted the all-in-one front legs that are on offer in various places? They say they’re for the 1.8 but I’d want to fit to a ZT CDTi that’s harsh as hell on the front. I’m concerned that the softer springs wouldn’t give me enough clearance, though, which is already low. Any feedback would be appreciated please.

I don’t have any feedback other than to say if they’re for a 1.8, I wouldn’t put them on a diesel. They will sit low.

Thanks, Alex. If you have a photo of the front, I wouldn’t mind seeing it please?

I would imagine the likelihood of breaking springs will be increased exponentally, the 1800 springs are almost 2mm less in diameter than diesel springs, and the damping rate will be considerably less.

I wouldn't do it if I were in your position

Ask mat to make you up a set using zt cdti springs , he did it for mine and they sit at the right height.
