Default just a quick question

i was just wondering if the suspension on a vtr is different to the suspension on the gti/vts? i think the arb is bigger but is there any other differences?

I think you'll find the suspension setup on a westie, furio, vtr, vts is exact same only difference in terms of suspension/handling/braking is VTR and VTS have rear discs

You'll have to wait for a suspension guru to give you all the info you need. But in standard form, the gti does handle slightly better than the vts, vtr, etc.
