So lastnight i got in my car and backed up just enough to get out of where i was parked and when i put it in 1st i heard a very loud spring noise but sounded like i ran over something. got out and couldnt see anything, well today i hear a noise when i hit bumps coming from the left rear tire. put it on the lift and found the bottom of the spring on the left rear broke off!:eek: it seems to sit level so i removed the two pieces (2 inches long per) so the noise would go away but i want to replace both rear springs and probable front and struts and shocks all arounf since they are oem and have done me well. I would really like koni fsd's but would like opinions on springs and dont really wanna lower it much but it seams the only option for springs for sport.. any input would be great!

You could put up a Want to Buy ad for stock springs. With the number of people who lower their VW's someone is bound to have a set with relatively low miles.
