Hi, Thanks for the info on the spring. One question though, Are you talking
about the early MK 1, 2, 3 springs or the later ones? My car is a MK1. I
pulled the spring out today, I get a measurement of 5.75" from the bench to
the bottom mounting point. Seems if I get it rearched to 1", it will drop
the car by almost 5 inches. Can I assume that if I get it rearched to, say,
3.75" it will lower the rear by 2". If I remember correctly the later
springs are flatter than the early ones.
