underl_ne 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Bought new standard back springs for my 16v cos they were corroded. Now the back of the car is quite high and it's even harder getting over the speed bumps here in London. Do I shed out on lowered springs for back and front or buy standard new ones for the front in which case it may look like a buggy but will make the humps!? Basicly the VW specialists in Blackstock rd, N5 are not specialists and have given poor advice to a Corrado/VW novice. :cry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 8, 2004 You sure there the right springs??? Have you an early or late 16V as there is a difference in the standard ride height between the 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underl_ne 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Not sure if it's an early or late 16v but am sure that they are not doing any more work on her! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underl_ne 0 Posted September 8, 2004 it has 4 slats on the grill- does this make it a late 16v? it's not that it looks super high but prob ok for standard springs, maybe just change the front ones to level it..? thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted September 8, 2004 you got no way of knowing if its early/late by grill type they could`ve easily been changed! check your V5/chassis/VIN number.... etc i`d just buy a set of springs to match that-lower it 35-40mm and you shouldn`t have too much problems!
