Hey everyone. I am looking at getting a MK6 JSW, and my research shows it's mechanically similar to a MK5 Golf. The Onlins coilovers kit fits the MK5 Golf, but they told me it may not fit the wagon due to front spindles being different.

Anyone care to chime in about this? Had Ohlins R&T struts on my old TDI with stock springs and absolutely loved them, til VW bought the car back.

Not sure if they're compatible but curious how much they cost?

Ohlins are the tits.

Got an email back from Vivid Racing. They said they fit, albeit the JSW might ride different due to slight weight difference (aka one extra passenger). I'm sure a good suspension shop can dial that in nicely. They can also be used at stock height, which is a huge plus for me.
