Hey guys, when it comes to springs... what are the differences between 2 door and 4 door springs? Aren't they the same? Interchangeable on 2 door/4 door? I've heard some people say yes and some no.

Thoughts?

Ok, this might have been asked before, and could be a very dumb question, but anybody else get hot air from the vents without the heater being on? Location socal, if that matters, its not very cold.

i've been arguing with one of my coworkers about that. every car has had that same condition, but he bought a new car and he said that annoys him the most because his old car didn't do it. i don't see how. but he complains that if he turns off the air then nothing should come out of the vents. i actually like it.

Weight... 2dr/4dr/dsg/6sp weigh different amounts hence different spring rates.

This will also affect ride height and where your car will sit.
