Resurrecting an old thread, but here goes. I recently bought an 07 GTI Fahrenheit, with what they call the European sport-tuned suspension package. I don't know how this differs from stock GTI, but I want to lower it just a bit. I got a good deal on some OEM springs from an 09 GTI, claiming to lower an earlier MK5 by about an inch and still keep stock suspension characteristics.
Does anyone know any more detailed information on this? Are these springs the same as what I already have? I heard the later (TSI) GTIs all came with the European sport-tuned suspension, but I can't verify that. Thanks in advance for any info.

All US spec Fahrenheit's had the 2006/2007 US spec springs (AKA God damn minivan ride height). In 2008, US spec GTI's got the Euro springs. They're not an inch lower, but 0.6" lower all around. If you're doing those, you honestly may as well get new Bilstein or Koni shocks, strut mounts and bearings, etc. How many miles?
