    will these fit my diesel?

    Does anyone know if these springs will fit a mk 1 diesel golf?

    i have installed the front king springs using the old bump stops. The bump stops appear to be too long and just slightly compressed. Whats the best way to fix this dilemma???

    Otherwise, the car looks great without so much air under it!

    Thanks guys,

    Matt

    hmmm.. my old kings didnt lower it that much... they may be superlow (but i dont think king do them for any mk1) or have a coil cut off.

    either way, you can choose to leave the stop in (it may save your shocks...for a while) or chop it down andgive yourself an extra inch of travel...

    who can say if it will bottom the shocks out.... how much wheel gap have you got?
