forester springs?

[natep]

hey, stupid question i hope someone will have the knowledge to help me with. internalcombust told me there was some guys in here with some know all info, so blame him for my inquiry...ha.

i am looking to raise the ride height (for rallyx purposes) of an 02 vw gti vr6. i heard through the grape vine that subby and vw source their oem springs from the same place and that forester springs will fit the vr6 gti adding 2 inches of ride height. has anyone heard this before?..... i have oem vw springs i can use to compare to the forester springs. if anyone has info and or springs laying around i could use as a reference i would greatly appreciate it.

i called evergreen today and spoke to someone in parts who was very nice...they told me to talk to joel who was, unfortunately for me at the time, with a customer. they also mentioned gabe?.... sorry this is so long and tedious.

thanks -nate

Gabe aka Subarude is on here.

But ive heard that if someone wanted to put forester springs on a subaru they would need the struts too. I have spacers to lift my car, but that's only an inch.

Good Luck!

i will assume you meant "forester springs on a vw"...... i am hoping that the springs will sit in the vw spec struts, that's why i want to look at the forester springs so i can see if they are even close to my vw springs and if they are i can try to use them....thanks for the luck wish, i may need it. -nate

nice! i will throw you my email if you wouldnt mind snapping a couple of pics and getting them to me...at your leisure of course. top looking down for both front and rear, then flip them and do the same for the bottoms would be great...... at least i would be able to either rule them in or out....if the coil ends are close i may get with ya and try to hook up so i can compare mine with them.... thanks dude.

I love that flat black mammajamma! it is really fun to ride. It drops in to corners nicely and eats up the bumps. Yamaha is sold yay! You can paint yours any friggin' color you want as long as I have someone to ride with that doesn't suck.
