Im new to VW so not sure about the coilovers? Ive always wondered if Mk7 GTI coilovers would fit on a Mk7 1.4tsi? If not ,could someone lead me to reliable Coilovers that i can put on my car? Got stock suspension on at the moment.

I think they are compatible because i have a golf mk7 tdi and on the box it said mk7 tsi/tdi/gti but the R Line uses a different set up

Golfs have 50mm strut housings, gti and R have 55mm.

Also, your 1.4tsi might not have independent rear suspension which would be a big difference. We don't have them state side so I'm not sure on that part.

You might be limited on what's offered if the rear suspension isn't IRS, I'm sure someone with more 1.4 knowledge will chime in

Im pretty sure i have IRS in my car. Don't really want to go springs. If i was to upgrade suspension i would do it well.

Could you possibly change the strut housings some how?
