fitting H&R springs to koni adjustable shocks

[rossy t 0]

to solve the crashy ride on koni adj shocks & springs thats doing my nut in i just bought some H&R springs from NFS to be delivered shortly. after a good old search of the forum i have uncovered some threads about VR6 owners having to get new top plate mountings for the front?

 

seeing as i own a 2l 16v will i have to get these to make them fit?

 

what other components should i buy from GSF / VDub to replace at the same time while the garage is working on the car?

 

im getting there slowly :lol:

There are 3 different types of spring top plate, depending on model and year.

 

Most of the aftermarket springs need the earlier types.

as the car already has koni shocks on i presume i do not need to renew the top plate then?

 

thanks, ross.

Depends what year your car is. H&R only make the springs with the larger top coil (early top plate). If your VR is a 92 or 93, you may not need the top plate. If you've got a 94 or 95, then you will.

kev, its a 16valver mate.

Oh yeah, so it is!

 

In that case the H&R springs are blue (VR6 green) and should fit the top plates OK.
