I've read a bit on this swap and found a 2003 TT in a junkyard. I grabbed the struts, spindles, brakes, sway bar, Andy even the strut brace under the hood. It has the 12.3" rotors and red calipers.
Has anyone else done this swap out there? I'm wondering about a few things.
1. Should I use the TT springs or the ones on my Jetta?
2. I didn't get the rims. (Only one damaged one was left.) I need 17" rims to fit over the calipers and checking the specs, the TT offset is different than a Jetta. Which is a better choice for the swap?
3. I'd like to make the factory strut brace work. I want to go back and drill out the welds to get the parts with the studs on the strut towers and firewall. If I can't get them, I was considering rivnuts and bolts to mount it. Has anyone out there installed one and have any advice?
4. Will the TT struts affect my ride height?
Thanks
