KW, Weitec & AP springs, whats the difference?

(1/2) > >>

Hi there,

I have a 2.0L TDI GT Sport, which as you probably know has GTI suspension. Because of this I thought you guys would be the best to ask...

I was wondering if anyone on here knows what the difference between these three springs are? I know they are all KW companies so why are the prices different? Are they different spring rates? different manufacturing practices?

Any help would be appreciated.  :happy2:

Top Cat:
Definitely different spring rates and maybe a different quality of materials used, i dont know about the materials so this is just a guess, but i have often read on here people assuming they are the same just because they come from the same factory.  :happy2:

bbcoop:
So what way does it go? KW hardest, Weitec medium to AP softest thats my guess.

Top Cat:
I dont think it works like that pal. You can get various spring ratings for all of the above.
If you fitted all of the above you may not notice much difference between them, but under testing conditions the pedigree of each should show through. Plus its how long they keep performing as well.  :happy2:

A ruff guess would say that weitec and KW would be the same.
both brands are KW and a lot of time its the same product with different branding and price.
maybe little lower component quality (metal type) on weitec.
