This is for my 2004.

So here's where I'm at now:

- OEM brakes, eibach pro-kit springs, OEM shocks/struts

This is where I want to go:

- KW Variant 2 (or 3), plus BoraParts 312MM Front Brake Upgrade Package (20th Anniversary etc.)

I would like to get all of this work performed in a single session. That will be when my front brakes wear out. (still a year or so out)

The BoraParts kit comes with the upgraded spindles so I'm set there.

Here's where I'm a little unsure. When I order the KW coilover kit, do I tell them I have an OEM TDI, or a 1.8T / VR6? Or would it even matter?

Why would you tell them anything other then TDI? Your suspension doesn't care what type of brakes you have :)

Do they have different spring rates for the TDI vs the 1.8T/VR6?

I thought that since the spindles are attached (or are part of?) the suspension upgrade, and I'd be replacing them with 1.8T/VR6 style with the brake upgrade, I'd need to order differently. Maybe this isn't the case then? (that would be awesome!)
