Title: 50mm coilovers on a GTI
Post by: vw99 on June 23, 2014, 01:30:46 pm: Hi guys,

Quick question; Will 50mm fk coilovers such as highsports or silverlines fit a gti with 55mm hubs using jom adapter sleeves?

Cheers

They're used coilovers but literally a few months old so a lot cheaper than new

They're off a tdi so the struts are for 50mm, just wanted to find out whether fitting the jom adapter sleeves on them will work to fit 55mm hubs on my gti.
