I would never have even concerned myself with the thought that aftermarket springs might fit a gas Mk2 VW, but not a DIESEL Mk2. Then, while searching the net for some replacements for my worn out OEM units, I find myself on SHOX.com. They claim the "H&R spring kit" "DOES NOT FIT DIESEL"?
Anyone venture a guess why? I thought the suspension setup was the same across the Mk2 Jetta/Golf line regardless of engine? Is it referring to stock struts being different on diesels, hence the H&R's not fitting? I'm confused, and in need of struts that are garunteed to fit when I go to install them. I'm on my own when it comes to VW maintenance where I live.
Thanks, if anyone knows the answer.
