Title: Quick spring question
Post by: The Mad Hatter on March 14, 2008, 04:30:47 am

Well, while i'm waiting to get the car back from the shop i'm gathering up parts here at the house.  I'm planning on doing a rear disc swap from a mk2 gti i found at my local junkyard.  I figure while i'm doing that swap i can replace the springs.  But, as i search for parts online, there are different part numbers for different mk2 golfs?  I thought they all used basically the same springs?

I'm looking to lower the car maybe 1.5"- 1.8".  Do i need to mix and match springs, or will any mk2 lowering springs work?  Thanks in advance!

There are basically 2 types of OEM springs for mk2 golf:

191 511 115 A is the standard spring (used on all GL, CL, GTD and GTI models) .

191 511 115 E and 191 511 115 F are the references for the 16v and G60 models (2 and 4 doors).

So, yes, any mk2 lowering spring will do the job. :)
