drivethruecp,
I've been looking for same for a year or better. No reliable results as yet.
If you come across something reliable please ping me ... i'll do the same
tks, Bryan
While installing airbags in the stock rear springs, the passenger spring was found to be broken at the base, so I went with a pair of tow springs(from ID Parts). The back sits a bit higher than I would like when empty, but it beats dragging *ss with any kind of weight in back. Perhaps the tiguan springs in front would level it out a bit more. I think rears were shot rather quickly. I felt, even with HD shocks, that 2 people in back made car sag rather badly and would scrape on most entrances to gas stations/stores etc. Now I think I could load up back with concrete and not even feel it.
Car handles a lot better with the tow springs with no more squat everytime I touch the go pedal. Sits almost perfect with quad loaded on trailer now. Not as harsh as I expected. Car rights itself much faster(front to back) with absolutely no body roll now(front/rear sways already upgraded).
I have a Curt hitch installed, which used to scrape constantly, but I don't think it is possible to do it now.
I think the stock front springs are shot and sitting a bit low as well , which makes it even more pronounced. I guess when front struts need to go, tiggy springs can go in.
TDI_Coast2Coast,
tks ... appreciate the info ... I'll let you know if I caome up with info on the front .
cheers, B.
I'm VERY interested in the results of this setup vs the H&R Tiguan on an Mk6 Golf..
$234/set
$146/pr - BOGE 25-94G-0 - 4motion rear heavy duty
$88/pr - BOGE 25-Y46-0 - 4motion front
At some point I plan on trying some Boge Tiguan springs that I found on rockauto.com. Boge is part of the ZF group, so quality should be good. Rear heavy duty towing springs and 4motion fronts sounds like a nice combo for a lift and to stiffen things up. The price seems right, at about the same cost for the set as the H&R lift springs, but likely to be more balanced, rather than the nose high attitude with the H&R fitment.

If someone gets around to it before me, please post results with pictures.
You should look at the shipping on those springs, it brings it to over $600.At some point I plan on trying some Boge Tiguan springs that I found on rockauto.com.

Post up, please. Publishing all the info in one place allows us all to choose to our liking. Thanks for your work, guys.Nice info, Im slowly compiling specs myself and your contribution helps me greatly.

Here are the spring rates I was able to discern based on the spring specs.
__________________________Strength____Length
Tiguan 4motion Rear HD:------234 lb-in----340mm
Tiguan 4motion Rear:----------183 lb-in----363mm
Tiguan 4motion TFSI Front:----184 lb-in----359mm
Sportwagen Rear HD:-----------194 lb-in----323mm
Sportwagen Rear:---------------149 lb-in----357mm
Sportwagen TDI Front:---------144.5 lb-in---345mm
I'm scouring the Catalogs for a taller spring at a similar rate.
also, i can't see any of TDI_Coast2Coast's posts anymore . . .
what's happening here?
He must have been thoroughly insulted when another member called him out on the "Heat" thread under this category. Among other comments he was called a "madman". After that it got worse.All of tdi coast to coasts posts on the entire forum are gone.
Database error I hope.
