Where to find axle weights?
« on: November 15, 2009, 08:59:39 pm »
Hi I am looking to purchase coilovers soon and the shop is asking for the front and rear axle weights. Does anyone know where this info can be found? I know the diameter of my strut is 50mm but can not find the weights!
Help  :drinking:

I'm assuming you are wanting the axle load limits?

For a manual gearbox the 1.6 has a front load limit of 970kg and the rear 870kg for DSG this is 1000 and 870

Manual GTI by comparison is 1030 and 900 and the ED30 1040 and 910.

DSG they are 1050 and 900 and 1060 and 910
