Wrong suspension springs -help

Featured Replies

Can someone please shine some light on this ?

Time came for the Eibach springs to get fitted last week only to find out that the rear springs don't fit at all. They are hitting rear droplinks without any weight put on them. Yes i know the springs are for estate and my car is saloon but they don't fit. Unless my mechanic doesn't know how to fit them I'm really lost. Pictures attached below

It looks like the F11-79-008-01-HA rear spring (and E10-79-012-04-22 kit) isn't for a Superb MK3...but a Superb MK2 and other VAG cars that were based on the Golf MK5/MK6...

The eibach de website has an online catalogue that should list suitable kits.

That's what i thought...Autodoc is trying to say they sent correct kit but each spring might differ in part numbers ( obviously) and are now doing anything to avoid refund...

Autodoc’s scattergun approach to parts supply.

H&R rear anti roll bar?

The correct rear springs for a Sedan/Saloon mk3 Superb is F11-15-007-04-HA.

I've lost count how many times I've posted this table now.

Don't go by wat these shops r putting on their websites.

Yeah they are cr*p avoid at any cost.

They now have charge back initiated by my bank.... their approach to solving problems is ridiculous.

This must surely be your favourite topic on here John 😁

Yeah these were wrong from the start but autodoc has moved it to another level by putting two different springs wrongly into wrong box 🙈

isn't your spring mounted too much forward?

Not sure mate but this Eibach spring definitely is bigger diameter than my stock spring🤔

Umm. This statement is the answer. Wrong part number for the car, therefore don't fit!

@MarioVrs

your looks different to one which i installed on my previous FWD car

No quite right... estate springs still fit hatchback but don't lower as much on rear as specific spring for hatchback would as estate is slightly heavier. What i received is completely different rear axle spring.

Yeah that's what i mean... On your picture above the Eibach is quite a bit shorter than original spring, what i received is almost identical length but wider diameter 🤔😣

Anyway I've opened a dispute with Autodoc because the way they handled this is ridiculous...

It's so frustrating dealing with companies like that!! They're either easy to deal with or a major pain in the bottom!!

Hope ur able to get a resolution soon and get the right springs sent ur way.
