I think it's an S3 (there is a nice view of the rear axle).
But... how do the rear (& front) springs stay in place???
There is nothing to keep them aligned. Is pressure alone enough to keep them together?

You can see the outer bolt is removed from the wishbone, once this is pushed up and the bolt is inserted, the spring is compressed slightly holding everything in place

It's a Mk.VI R.  :wink:

Look at the strange rear height adjuster. Guess you can make adjustments from below.

So its an S3 in a golfs frock then  :smiley:

I hadn't noticed TBH, but looks like a good idea, you could adjust just by jacking and not taking the wheel off
