« on: April 27, 2015, 02:30:16 pm »
Hi
Iv got a mk5 gt dsg
Can I fit normal mk5 gti springs on it ? Iv seen a set on eBay but it says not for dsg??
I can't find anything on the net about them not fitting a dsg! 

Any help or info would be great before I buy a set

My understanding is that this is due to the extra weight of DSG, during them on a DSG GTi would mean the front sits low. Then, there would also be a weight difference between your engine and a GTi...this is where my knowledge ends!

I have a set of DSG Gti springs sat in the garage that you could have, however...........due to the extra weight of the Gt engine over the Gti engine I personally wouldn't put Gti springs on a Gt. Some might say go for it you'll be fine but me personally I wouldn't.  :happy2:


Keeping it original..............or not!!

What's the worst that could happen?
Front bottoms out on speed humps or something worse??

What do you want for the springs mate  ?

There is only one set for the TDI 2.0 Engine.. I keep these in stock ready for next day delivery

This will drop the vehicle around 35mm-40mm :)

Please feel free to contact me on 01522 717100 if you would like to know anything more
