Hi,
I bought some H&R VR6 Mk3 specific lowering springs on EBay. I know H&R and Koni shocks is a popular mix. I cant afford the Koni's yet but getting there. I was just to do the springs on standard shocks for now.
So, I ordered and waited a week or two for delivery from Germany. They came I booked my car in. Today was the big day. All was well then this afternoon the garage rang me to say the front springs dont fit my VR6. I mean how?? The springs have VR6 and MK3 wrote on the springs individually. The rear ones fit just fine.
The garage tell me the diameter of the centre of the H&Rs are far too big for the shocks on my car. They wondered if the shocks are possibly not the right ones and have been changed at some point but dispelled that thought and went back to thinking there just not the right springs.
Anyone had this issue before? Like I say I know Mk3's and H&Rs and Koni's go together oftern.
This is the exact item I bought:-

Currently I am have contacted seller and asked their advice. But even when they take a return I then have to send these back meaning im £150 in labour fees down just to be back to where I was in the first place when I done bot all wrong.
Anyone offer any advice here. Be greatly appreciated.
