Does seem a lot that! Is there any need for alignment for springs only?

are coilys a bit excessive on a tdi? I also wanna keep it as 'warrantable' as possible. Vw probably won't notice springs but coilovers they'jj spot.

Did you go with the springs JPC? How long do std shocks last with just springs?
