What springs are they Simon and whats the part number? Eibach Sportlines use the same springs for DSG and Manual. :happy2:

They make two types of spring , for DSG and manual. The DSG gearbox is heavier than a manual box hence the DSG springs are designed for a hevier car.

I might be missing something here but check out there website https://web2.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?230=1&34=0,2047566&36=189&35=0&32=20064&14=4&10=C3C15488C186B7DEE040A8C00A3E2163279004&12=130

The springs I have are part number E20-85-014-02-22.

When I was first searching for Eibach springs for my DSG and Romany's manual, I too thought manual and DSG use different ones but after a bit of research it seems like they use the same springs. Both of us have exactly the same springs fitted, same part numbers, I think I might try and take some photos to show if there are any differences between our cars.

Here's just a few websites I've found that show the springs will fit both DSG and manual:

http://www.carparts-tuning.co.uk/en/Suspension-Tuning/Lowering-Springs/Eibach-Sportline-Sport-Springs-VW-Golf-5-1K-Yr-10-04.html

You should just fit them to your golf, they'll be fine! :happy2:

There was a bit of a debate whether different Eibach Sportline springs should be used for manual and DSG golfs due to the DSG gearbox making the front end of the car heavier. I thought I'd try and take some pics to show the stance of both cars (one manual, one DSG) on the same Eibach Sportline springs. I think the drop of them both look the same...











My wheels fill the arches a bit better so may look like it's lower in the last pic, but it's not. :happy2:

The difference in weight is probably negligible.
