Title: Biltstein B12 Sport Line Kit - Info Needed Please
Post by: GTI-Ross on October 29, 2014, 03:35:23 pm

Can anyone confirm if the B12 kit is the exact same spec for MK5 GTI as MK6 GTI.

I know they both use B8 Springs and Eibachs springs, but is there a difference other than part number. Do they have a different rebound rate or anything. MK6 might be a bit heavier.

here are the two Links:

Thanks

I believe that the MK6 kit is slightly softer than the MK5, plus they list the Eibach springs as being different.
