Suspension refresh

Hi if you have Vw original springs installed at present could you check the colour coding for me? What colour are the 4 dabs on spring?
Also what was included in the suspension kit, looks nice?
Thanks
Max

I do bud, but I shan’t be changing it over until next weekend! I can do it then for you, I’ll take a picture?
The kit contains front and rear bilstein b8 shocks and eibach sportline springs, no dustcovers unfortunately! The springs came with what look like shortened bumpstops which I assume are for the front shocks, but the b8 front shocks are upside down and have internal bumpstops so I won’t be needing them! Did expect dust covers though!

Hi bud
I'm looking to do the same on mine, but want to retain the 30mm H&R lowering springs i have fitted as the stance is perfect. Do you if the B12 kit comes without springs and just the shocks/dampers?
Cheers
Louie

The B12 kit is the Bilstein B8’s dampers with Eibach springs. I have this kit on my Audi S6.
On my GTI I too have H&R springs and just bought the B8’s separately. I purchased the MK6 B8’s. The part numbers that I bought are:
B8 (Sport) = Front: 35-158745 (55mm) & Rear: 24-158756
