Rear spring snapped. What replacement brand?
« on: April 14, 2017, 02:42:02 pm »
One of my rear springs has snapped to I need to replace the pair of them. ECP have a couple of brands available. Sachs are currently available for £90 a pair and Anschler are £60 a pair.

I don't want to lower the car, just replace like for like. Does anybody have any experience with either of these springs?

It is a manual 2005 GTi.

Thanks

Sachs will be a better spring and will last longer. As long as you are replacing both rears it shouldn't matter what brand you use.

If you don't intend keeping the car for a long time I'd get the cheaper ones.

Yeah, that's my current thinking. I will probably be selling next year at some point so will probably go with the cheaper ones. Found them for £53 for a pair on CP4L.

Eibach pro all rounds. Retain stock ride comfort and lowers to a nice ride height (10/20mm lower).
