You'll probably spend more time fighting with the spring compressor to get the old springs out and the new ones in than you would with removing 3 bolts on each side.

Hit 140k this weekend, car didn’t spontaneously combust.
Onto the next milestone. Still have the original water pump & haven’t cleaned the valves for anyone out there panicking about those potential issues.

I am having trouble finding the correct bolts on RockAuto. FCPEuro just doesnt even have them? Would I be looking for these?

I love that stuff and have the full set.
Following what you end up doing. I've been rolling around on a broken rear spring for months on my 2015. I'm waiting for a forum member to respond back for some used stock struts/springs for a refresh until I go full coilover and not quite sure what all will be involved with a replacement.

To the best of my knowledge, it's not the sort of thing that RockAuto carries. Here's a link with part numbers and a wealth of info, it was supremely helpful when I was looking. The majority of my hardware came from Urotuning, though I did wind up having to get some incidentals from the dealer.

Full set of hardware looks to be about $40 from FCP

Absolute last thing I needed was another set of wheels, but was stunlocked by a OE set of Fuchs that popped up on Marketplace yesterday. Had to pick them up. 1400$ CAD (about 255$ USD per wheel). No curb rash, rubber is original 2021 and pretty shot.

If those wheels were 8.0 or 8.5" they might have been the perfect OE VW wheel. Light, strong and great looking.

I just posted the exact same thing in the other thread.
I feel the same way. I have a spacer set lying around somewhere, might try a fitment test this weekend.

Over the weekend I DIY repainted the panoramic sunroof trim. I think it came out great. It took me a couple of days to sand off the old clearcoat by hand. I then wet sanded the orange peel until it was flat and cut and polished the clear coat. She's ready for AVF!

Legendary, that looks great!
Looks great, what paint did you use? Rattle can?
