They should all fit, the weight distribution difference between 2 and 4 door models shouldn't be an issue.I have a 4 door automatic 2.5L GOLF. Was considering swapping out my stock springs out for DG springs once they need to be replaced. I’ve seen there are different versions of the DGs, would I use the 4 door DSG type? Is there a certain part number I should be looking for?
Yep. Like he said 2 or 4 door shouldn't be that big a deal. Manual 2 door vs DSG 4 door maybe but still probably not. I was looking into going this route as well but talked to some people who had done it and they said the ride was a little to harsh for a daily driver (that was purely opinion though). I ended up swapping out to gti suspension instead which for me is perfect. Suspension is a system and springs are really only part of the equation. Sway bars (front and rear) and tires are equally important to how the car handles. Don't cheap out on the tires.
IMHO The MK5 and MK6 share the same suspension, unless your in it for the looks and stance, the GTI ride height/camber curve is about as low as you should go for performance driving. If you set your droop lower you start at a point where too much negitive camber gets introduced earlier than is required, hence the use of larger and larger sway bars to correct the geometry.It definitly sits lower but there is still wheel gap. I am running Conti DW's on 17's as well.
Anyone know if these would fit the 2.5L? Seller is unsure.

Zack, they will fit the entire Mk6 family. The 2.5 block is a tad bit heavier than the 2.0 TSI but that is balanced by the weight of the turbo and accessories, so should be no issues, they were prolly made in Europe so the 2.5 was not listed that's a common occurance.Anyone know if these would fit the 2.5L?

These springs are linear like the original GTI ones, the original GTI setup specs should be used, not the 2.5. :thumbup:
By design the GTI settings are more aggressive than that of the Golf. Once you put the GTI Springs on, it is best to use the more aggressive alignment specs for the GTI to get the base bang for your buck.Thanks for the info as always, I wish I knew a quarter of what you do. Can you clarify what you mean by setup specs? Thanks (dory if this is a noob question)
