Mk5 Gti Eibach sportline query DSG/Manual?
« on: April 20, 2013, 02:20:54 pm »
Guys can someone tell me, I bought a 2nd hand set of eibachs but they are for a DSG not a manual, I know the rears are identical but the fronts are different, the spec sheet line reads as follows:

Technische Daten
Technical data
VORDERACHSE
FRONT AXLE
Kennzeichnung:
Identification 21-15-007-01-VA 21-15-007-02-VA
Feder-Charakteristik
Characteristic lineare lineare
 Außendurchmesser (mm)
Outer diameter 138 141
 Drahtdurchmesser (mm)
Wire diameter 12,5 13,25
 ungespannte Federlänge
untensioned length 264 270
 Gesamtwindungszahl
Total number of coils 5,75 6,0

As you can see the length is 6mm longer and the number of coils is .25 longer, will it make much difference when fitted?

Also they were supplied with bump stops, very short ones, do they need fitted to the GTI?

Cheers
