You have just paid 30k for a car and your talking about 'cheap lowering springs' even in the mk3 section they see the light

No, he's talking about selling his not exactly cheap to buy VW Racing (VW 'approved') springs cheaply whilst upgrading further if you read the posts properly.
The most light mk3 owners see is through their rust holes.  :kiss:

^^^  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just for the record, the VWR Springs (as pointed out by Exonian) are the ones offered by Volkswagen Racing and a number of VW dealers under the VWR handling package.

The springs are made by KW and are TUV approved, the only difference to the normal KW springs is that these are painted VW Racing blue.

The cheap reference is in relation to them now being available for sale (second hand) and as such are cheaper than buying them new.

So what this space for a report on the KW V3 coilovers with the ACC delete option and the for sale section for a cheap set of VWR Springs for the Mk6  :smiley:
