hatch pop?

the springs and so on?


here is a link on ecstuning on how to do the hatch pop mod.
http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_VI--2.0T/Search/Hatch_Pop/ES2083320/

for spring install just follow the coilover diy but for the rears just change the spring out. if you have xenons there is a leveler arm connected to the rear suspension arm that needs to be disconnected when changing the springs.

edit: you also can search vwvortex and golfmk5 for more how to's.
