GTi vs 1.6 Springs question..

[golfgti101]

Hi guys, just wondering if there is any difference with GTi springs and those from a 1.6L ? Height? spring rate? interchangeable?

Thanks in advance!

git springs are 15mm lower i think. i have a set for sale as the original buyer fell through if you want

[dylan8]

will be a direct swap, 15mm lower like above I believe.
might be worth getting hands on gti struts too, id imagine they would be a upgrade too

Gti springs are lower and firmer, as the engine is heavier

beauty, picked up a set and front sway bar for 30 bux the other day.. wondering if it was worth putting them on or passing onto someone on here..,

If as said, i shall fit them up!

Thanks a heap for the replies guys. appreciate it.

No different from a standard spring change, enjoy

lower and firmer but no different?

The GTI springs are firmer due to the heavier donk, and lower for styling.

They are "no different" in the sense that the install is the same as every other car.

Thanks for asking this question! I am about to do the same thing and was unsure about fitment. Ill be buying KW v1's for my GTI most likely, or H&R cup kit

Enjoy your friday!
