Come to think of it, would a Bentley manual not list the spring rates?

They have every other unimaginable peice of info in there otherwise! :lol:

Could do? Could you be sure it's GTI specific though if it's listed?

I had thought of buying the rears anyway - but think will just stick with aftermarket for now. I'm sure I'll change my mind a few times in between though!  :lol:

I can only find suffix H springs on classic parts which have green markings according to vagcat.

VW UK came back to me today - at long last! No surprise, they can't help. They suggested that I contact Germany! O_o
