Will GTI H&R Springs fit a 2.0 Sport Diesel?

(1/3) > >>

darrens:
I have just sold my ED30  and have put it back to standard and removed the H&R springs.  My wife has a VW Jetta 2.0D Sport and I was told that the H&R's would fit them but I didn't think that it was possible due to the different engine weights etc?

Could some of the suspension guru's confirm before I put them up for sale  :smiley:

Thanks

TomB:
Unfortunately they're not the same.

GTI springs on a TDI will not be strong enough so it will drop more at the front and probably break a coil in a year or two.

too hot:
I might be interested if you want to sell the springs? :smiley:

darrens:
I thought as much.

If they don't fit then yes, they will be up for sale.  Drop me a pm or keep an eye out for the sale thread.

I've been running Eibach Sportlines for a GTi (circa 50mm drop) on my car, a 170 diesel, done 30000 within a year on them - no issues.

Your springs you have will be fine.

My ride height is exactly the same as the GTi
