Title: will a dsg coilover kit go on a manual mk5 golf gti
Post by: baron12234 on 13 March 2014, 15:54

hey, i have stupidly bought a dsg coilover kit for my manual golf gti mk5, i bought it a while ago now and its too late to return, im a bit of a novis and was just wondering if other than weight there were any real differences?? the kit is an AP one.

thanks for any advice

I would assume no difference....... I can't see how DSG or manual would affect the suspension legs

From what I can see its just the weight of the car, I'm guessing it may affect the proposed ride height they give you

I suspect the difference is in spring rating but it should be fine.
