Tdi to Gti eibach springs
« on: June 06, 2010, 05:23:57 pm »
Hi all
 would eibach pro line springs from a Tdi be ok for a Gti? i know the diesel weighs more so would the springs not compress on a gti as much as the Gti is lighter? thus not dropping the car as much as it should be.  :smiley:

They'll be fine. The first Eibachs which were supplied for the GTI Mk5 were all packaged as TDI and I checked with both Eibach and Awesome at the time.
