updates?
Car is & has been in the body shop
Won't have it back until after Christmas, but it will have an alignment done while it's there
updates?
I went to the Keffer website and it specifically says these springs are not for the GTI. What is the deal with that?
Description
Sport Suspension Springs lowers the standard center of gravity of the vehicle without sacrificing comfort. High dynamic load capacity. Sporty look. High quality corrosion protection. Fits: 2dr (TDI) 2.0 CR TDI Automatic. Not for vehicles equipped with factory lowered sport suspension (GTI).
Got mine installed yesterday. I will wait a bit to take pics as it's fairly obvious settling will happen. But the front is clearly lower than the rear. I heart rake so it's not a problem for me.

They say that for the MK6 and said that about the MK5 too, but they will in fact work
They just don't lower a GTI as much as a Golf obviously, but the end result/look is the same when both cars have the DriverGear springs on them
Any pics yet? How much drop did you see on your car? Any ground to fender measurements?
Hmmm I thought stock springs were linear....
I'm not sure, you might be right. I tried looking it up and could not find any information on it.
Heaven forbid I start a new post over at vortex about this topic.
I agree completely with you, but I am a little tossed if I should install a linear spring on a car that already has a progressive spring in it. In other words I dont want to interfere with the dynamics of the car by installing a spring made for a lower performing vehicle. Does this make any sense? Sorry if it doesnt. I'm still pissed that I cant get the VWR springs here and that the eibach pro-kit springs are too damn low.
In one of Dan's posts above he said the stock GTI springs were linear. I like the idea of linear as well. More predictable and immediately responsive
I haven't forgotten. I'm off work for the holidays next week and I will get the car cleaned up with pics then. There is a comfortable 1.5 finger gap up front, and a very tight 2 finger gap in the rear. I'll get ground to fender measurements too.
