russj249 2 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 from what i've heard gti springs are no good on a vr6. the extra weight of the engine will make it run too low.basically the opposite to my mate's gti who bought my old vr6 springs which made it look like it had a lift kit on it lol.

Lukey. 381 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 the front axle load can be different by up to 100kg (890kg - 980kg) but i think the rear axle load is the same for GTI or VR6 (880kg) Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 GSF do lowering springs, I haven't had any experience with them but its worth a look.994VG0080 LOWERING SPRING KIT . G3 GTi/VR6 >7/94 Lowers 35mm 39.00 994VG0100 LOWERING SPRING KIT G3 GTi/VR6 8/94> Lowers 35mm 69.00I bought some heavy duty rear springs from GSF (part number; 511VG0110) and there fantastic so I don't think quality is much of a problem, In my experience anyway Link to post Share on other sites
probert993 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Can't understand it gsf list the springs as gti/vr6 like they can be used on both so now im confused Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Can't understand it gsf list the springs as gti/vr6 like they can be used on both so now im confused I think the vr6 is only around 70kg heavier than the gti, that's like the weight of an average teenager so I don't think it would make much difference.

probert993 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Does anyone know why prices are so different for the spring sets on gsf posted by mad rocker earlier? One set 39 one set 69 ??? Also anyone know anyone or had experience with there lowering kits cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 its because there for different years, £39 for cars made before July 1994 and £69 for cars made after august 1994. I have no idea what the difference between the two are but I would expect supply and demand have some part to play in it.on the other hand I believe that THESE are the springs that were origonaly fitted to the Bilstein shocks and there £190.
