Post by: Jdargggwheelie on July 15, 2014, 10:57:07 am: Iv had a few people say that it will fit and some wasnt sure
But i got told that it will all fit but may be stiffer on the rears?
Wanted a few diffrent opinions before i start to strip it down to fit them.
I rang a kw dealer but they wasnt sure

So it should fit then?? Being as both 4wd if s3 fits then the ones of the ttrs should?

They will be different.

That is true Alex however that is more to do with spring weights than fitment.

Golf Mk5 GTI vs 2.0 TDI coilover kits have different part numbers... both fit...

Post by: danishmkvgti on July 16, 2014, 06:13:34 am: They will fit, i fitted TTRS OEM springs and dampers to the missus Touran 1T.
Spring rates will be different though, but physically the will fit :happy2:
