Rear Spring Broken :(

[mikemk4gti]

Trying to source a standard rear spring for my 2001 S3 AMK, Ive seen this one on ebay
Audi S3 1.8 Quattro 210BHP - Hatchback Rear Coil Spring - 05/99-10/01 | eBay

But it says -

Spring: Coil Spring
Without sports suspension
Parameter: E

Now is that saying its for an S3 without sports suspension?

 

[jojo]

S3's have 2 types of rear spring from the factory, standard and GmbH springs, with the latter being 10mm lower over standard I think it was?

AFAIK, the GmbH springs was an optional extra on European S3's but was never available as an option on UK cars, but if you ordered the 18" RSTT wheels from the factory, you would get these fitted as standard?

Stand to be corrected though....

Yee know too much!

Similar to above but when I phoned tps they told me to check for marks on snapped springs and sourced me the correct one from me describing them over the phone. Got two new springs for £75 ish. From them....

I don't have a TPS local, local motor factors have one and said there's only one listed for mine?
