Will MK6 VW Golf VW Racing Suspension springs fit my MK5 vw golf???
« on: January 25, 2017, 02:06:44 pm »
As titled I wondered if some MK6 VW golf Racing Springs, bought for a 3 door, will they fit my MK5 Vw golf tdi that's a 5 door??
Have had a look around online and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer to this so thought I'd put it to some of the guru's on here! Any help much appreciated  :happy2:

MK5 & MK6 GTI are the same fitment.  I don't know if that is true of diesels though.

in my previous experience of getting aftermarket suspension on my old MK4, there is a difference in suspension for both diesels / Petrol and 3dr/5dr.

Probably best off getting something diesel specific because the engine is a fair bit heavier, so may have different spring and damper rates to the GTI.
