Hairy1 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 guys,my gtt looks like its accelerating when it isn't! (fronts higher than the back) :-(this makes the cars handling INTERESTING,i recently took off the a/c so i'm guessing thats the culprit? i'm lookin to get whiteline springs with kyb shocks but the springs drop the car 40mm front and rear so i could be back 2 square one anyone know if i could space the rear srings somehow without being unsafe??(i'd really rather not cut the front springs)any ideas much appreciated!

The a/c comp, fan etc. doesn't way that much. My bet would be that the rear shocks are leaking and broken, hence why the front sits higher and the rear has slumped. No one else has ever had this problem as far as I know, so I don't think its A/C removal related! When I changed my suspension, both my rear shocks had leaked and siezed, so I'm banking on something similar with yours bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tayyib Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 hi mate, i had this problem when i rebuilt my Gtt, as when i bought it there was no engine and once the engine was in the front end was sat pretty high. i found that the front shocks were completely and utterly fooked. when i changed the suspension to pi lowering springs and monroe shocks the car was leveled out andnot sat like your saying yours is.could be your problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave-gtturbo Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 As said mate, it'll be knackered suspension (shocks/springs or both) that just need replaced. Definetely nothign to do with the a/c though, its for a few kg's in weight, but not enough to notice a ride height difference!Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
