That's INSANE
The springs can be purchased in the US here for $202.50 + shipping:

And I charge $70 to throw them on
Make the trip down & save some money
If you're really serious though....just have them shipped here (~$225 SHIPPED)--instead of to Canada--and you'd have them installed for about $300 instead of "$750"
Yep, I was in the same position and made the trip from the Toledo area to see Dan! Definitely worth the drive, even from Toronto if you can work it out.

While I would not call these springs an upgrade for GTI, they are a nice upgrade for the Golf TSI to make it GTI-like. I think it makes the TSI sit ~10mm lower than a stock GTI.

Still handles like shit
Have you been in an AccuAir equipped vehicle ?
The car looks amazing with them, but it would be an 11 hour drive from Toronto to see Dan and I just spoke to the VW dealership and the price is now $950, I think I'm going to just wait on this one for a bit.

You don't have any Indy shops near you? A shop should be able to do it for $200 plus alignment and parts (so like $500ish)

Oh damn...I forgot it's that far, sorry
Try and find a local dubber to help you then
It's almost identical to a MK5/MK6 setup and there has to be a ton of guys in Toronto with those cars.
Try posting up on Vortex in the regional Classifieds for help

This being the $60,000 question.
No DG springs for GTI yet is what I hear......is that the truth for now?

There has never been DG springs for the GTI (here in the US anyways), since it's lower from the factory than a Golf already.
People swap the Golf's DG springs onto the GTI with no issues (they fit) for a little lower ride height & a nice OEM like ride still.

Do the DG springs improve handling at all, or are they purely cosmetic ?
