GTI Springs?

[HasH]

Why don't you just wind the coilovers up until it's comfortable?

iv tried all different adjustments on the coilovers. if you want a soft ride...it ends up on the deck & i cant go over speed bumps or get on my drive. wind them up and its very hard and bouncy.

original springs it is then! thanks everyone!

H&R Coilovers will soon be for sale lol!

Hello, i have a 2.0 TDI 140 GT & within the next few weeks i want to take my h&r coilovers off and put back the original shocks and springs [its too much of a hard ride for my liking]. my question is...are GTI springs a little lower than TDI springs? im just wondering as iv seen a few standard gti's with 18" wheels & i like how they sit on the arches.

will my tdi springs make the car sit alot higher than those of a gti...im only asking as the coilovers were already on my car when i bought it off a friend and i cant remember how it sat before he removed them

thankyou

.........don't petrol & diesel engines have different spring rates tho ?.

Yup - just ask RedRobin about the hassles he had with this very specific issue.  A diesel engine is considerably heavier than a petrol donkey, and the springs will have both different spring rates, and different ride heights.

I had fairly cheap coilovers on my mk4 and it still made a massive differance even just wonding them up by 10-15mm think it just allow's more travel and also the spring will be less compressed giving a bit more give, if that makes sense! Definatly worth a go IMO , only takes an hour!

....Hmm, somewhat trial and error!

Better to save up your money for longer and get some less-cheap coilovers and, very importantly, get your suspension setup by a professional.

It'll make all the difference. There's a very good specialist near Silverstone I think.
