Hi guys,

Question: Are stock MK4 Golf GL/GLE rear springs the same as GTI ones?

Context: Yesterday I went to look at a few parts from a MK4 GTI part out, and was looking at rear suspension springs. I was told the tall (compared to my FK springs) plain black rear springs were from a GTI, and were 30mm shorter than standard springs. But I thought my old springs (from the 1.6L GL/E) were the same as GTI rear springs?? I know the front ones are different on a GTI as the engine is heavier..

Reason: I want to know as I was going to buy them to lift the back of my car back up just a little bit, as my FK AK Street coilovers on the rear are already wound up to nearly the top, but still a tiny bit too low. Mostly for a bit more comfort driving around the city with all the speed humps etc on my route every day. But I DEFINITELY don't want it back to stock height... I'll throw up the pics I took yesterday of how my rears are sitting..
