ihave a set of nuespeed sport springs I dont know what they re worth....

You know, lowering might make it look better, but it hurts it's handling. "Low and slow." For handling you want stiffer springs that maintain stock ride height. This is true for any car with macpherson struts.

they lower the car frpnt and rear by 1.25"

I have a set of neuspeed race springs, still in box from 15 years ago, installed them for test fit and never put them back in they have no miles other than around the block in my callaway mk2, neuspeed claims 1.25" or so drop, but my memory tells me it was closer to 2", roof of car was about even with my navel, $200 shipped

This is certainly true, more so w/ mk1's than later cars, but the vast majority of this community still do it, and unless the drop is very dramatic the adverse affects are generally not noticeable on the street

My problem is...I bought a set of raceland coilovers and not only are they LOW , my awesome TSW wheels hit the strut body-the threaded part (even with a positive camber setting). I spent quite a bit of money on these and now I have decided to go back to the stock struts with lowering springs. When I bought the car , it had the stock struts with CUT springs. Not what I wanted. My wheels are 16x7 jj . Any suggestions???

[DUBSfightinRUST]

:p anyone??

[FATMANnaLILCAR]

bag it.

[DUBSfightinRUST]

Nah , I'm not the bag type...call me old fashioned, I just dont want to "pop" my suspension

[FATMANnaLILCAR]

Did you make sure they are the right coils for the car? I wouldn't think that the wheels would hit if you had coils that were intended for aftermaket wheels and/ or other modifications.

[DUBSfightinRUST]

Yea, that is what they sell for this car. I am going to try spacers first.

Well i had the same problem with my racelands but i picked up 10mm spacers for it and bam all fixed. I also have a set of neuspeed springs don't know if its race or sport but they came on my car when i got them. they are in great shape. Don't really know how much their are worth but make me an offer if you want them.

[Viveka]

I've got something for ya to "pop"

Make sure you get the Neuspeed sport springs for the 16V... 8V Scirocco springs won't cut it.

I actually have a set of 16V Neuspeed Sport springs on my '79 16V Scirocco, and I'm starting to part it out: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...9-Scirocco-16V

[DUBSfightinRUST]

Thanks everyone...I purchased 1" spacer and looks like they will do the trick.
