maximjc Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hello, I have recently bought an 8v GTi, and have my first problem. New to this so excuse ignorance please. The front o/s suspension spring has broken - the uppermost half turn has sheared off. Firstly do you think driving it will cause serious damage - I don't. Secondly I have located a used set of original 1994 VR6 springs. From searching on-line parts catalogues it seems to me that these will be an exact replacement for mine. Can anyone confirm this, or will they alter the ride height. It also seems that all the other related compoents are the same (bump stops, shocks , top mounts), but would like someone to tell me if this is the case or not. Any other considerations I need to be aware of please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 The springs are different as they changed the size of the pigtail in 1995. Also the VR6 springs would raise the front of your car as they are designed for a lot heaver engine! Check the price of lowering springs they will prob be your cheapest option!
