astra gtc suspension

[burgo]

im currently doing alloys at work and had one of these on one of the ramps with its wheels off. as i walked passed i glanced down and stopped dead and just stared at it trying to work out what was connected where and how the hell it works . The front end really is very different but the back end uses watts linkage as well. would love to drive one in anger to see how they handle

Is that not similar to fords setup that revo knuckle carry on?

The supension gets rave reviews in the press, hope to get a drive one soon if not buy one.

That rear beam looks almost identical to a MK4/MK5 one except those extra bars, I'm assuming they work like an anti roll bar?

Watts linkage controls lateral movement only

Yep, I think one of the Vx guys has said as much on vxronline. Seems it works so well all manufacturers are copying ahem, developing their own

my 4 door mk6 had it on and it really impressive how it handles. doesn't make you fell scared at all to throe it around on the back roads at speed i drove a povey model with out this set up and it was noticeable that it weren't there
