lowering springs not lower on front?

[neo-golfmk2-cy]

which is the best model of springs for the mk2?
 comments for apex ?

[boneybradley]

Angle grinder + springs =



 

(No offence intended!)

Where did you get the picture of len from?? 


and the spring cap's only really lower by about 10mm...... I have come accross the front's not being lower and that's due to a one spring fit's all policy and they don't take engine weight etc into account

See that's the thing, wouldn't the 8v gti engine be one of the heavier ones? I seem to remember something about bumpstops having something to do with it when I was searching, but no explanation as to why.

I don't think bump stop's will effect your problem?? but i know when mine was lowered we had to shortern the original's other wise it hit's these far too early in the suspension travel

16v engines are heavier. Have you bought 16v springs to go on a 8v?

[mk2mark]

It's possible, I didn't get em new but I'd doubt it considering the car they came off was a 1.3 I think, defo not a 16v
