Yes, I know there are quite a few posts and discussions on this subject and I've been trying to pick the information from a few of them.
I read that TDI springs are harder than 1.4 petrol ones and I don't need harder.
Picked up following advice: 'Monroe or Bilstien dampers at the front: use Spidan 49515'
Is this petrol och TDI?
Is there any difference between TDI and 1.4 petrol Monroe OESpectrum?
The car has Open Sky / Sunroof.
Edit (What I've ordered, not mounted yet. This is just what I went with based on low price and availability):
- Spidan front: 49527
- Spidan back: 49546
- Monroe Reflex / OESpectrum: Don't know about Reflex but Front OESpectrum 742042SP, Back OESpectrum 376041SP
- Do I use standard strut mounts to the Spidans? (also broken) Standard (If not Sport, I went with Febi Bilstein)
- Strut top mount back: Febi Bilstein 10819
- Height/length on the bump stops? (53, 63, 83 mm?!) Included for front in the MONROE PK012 pack, Vaico 8229 Q for back
- Rubber buffer, rear axle lower (for spring): Febi Bilstein 23412
- Rubber buffer, rear axle upper (for spring): Febi Bilstein 26620
- Do they come with dust covers or do I need to order that to? Needs to be ordered separately, Monroe PK012 for front, Febi Bilstein 22142 for back
- Anything else specific for the above setup?
