    Bottom of the B-Pillar? Can't remember which side.

    They probably just want to know if you have 50mm or 55mm strut diameter.

    If you have a GTI it's 55mm

    I found on the AwesomeGTI website there is 4 options in AP Coilovers - 2 options in 50mm (1060kg OR 1061-1170kg) and 2 options in 55mm (1060kg OR 1061-1170kg). Anyone have an idea on which one??

    The 50mm strut is for 77TSI - 118TSI. The GTI and R (and i believe TDI's but not 100%) use the larger 55mm diameter strut.

    TDI are heavier in the front (diesel engines are heavy) and both the R32 and R models are also heavier in the front due to engine/gbox config for the AWD systems.
