Post by: aidogti on September 08, 2010, 12:15:02 pm: Hi lads, do any of you'd know if eibach shoreline springs from a Leon will fit a golf Gti wit dsg without any probs?

Have any of you's done it before?

The springs are for the cupra.

Thanks for the reply.

Will it make a difference mine being dsg?
Will the drop be different?

get the right springs :wink:

Leon Cupra (1P) - Kit number E20-81-009-02-22 - Front springs - F21-15-007-02-VA - Rear Springs - F21-85-014-01-HA

VW Golf MK5 GTi DSG - Kit number E20-85-014-02-22 - Front springs - F21-15-007-02-VA - Rear Springs - F21-85-014-01-HA

So the kit numbers are different, but the springs that are in the boxes are the same between both kits.

Both cars have the same front and rear loads.
