I cannot find CSS rear springs part no. anywhere.
I wonder if going with CSS fronts (5Q0411105JF) and CS rears (5Q0511115HL) would cause any issues, like weird rake? I kinda remember the ride heights being different between CS and CSS..
I don't think it would be a spring rate mismatch since they cannot be that far apart in that regard (CS vs CSS rear spring rates), but the ride height resulting in weird rake worries me..

Sure, if you could measure fender-to-center cap front and rear that would be awesome!!
TIA!

I imagine it'd be slightly raked, but likely not enough to worry about so long as headlight range is corrected.

I could live with the stock rake of the CS, but I'm afraid with the CSS front springs and CS rears it would have a much more pronounced rake, since from what I remember the CSS has a lower ride height than the CS.
It would be great if someone could find the CSS rear spring part no., I can't seem to find it anywhere..

Thank you!
I don't have Instagram (or FB
), but there's no part number on the springs, they have color coded dots.This guy reckons same part number for all GTI rear springs. Doesn't quote a source though

Not true. CS rear spring is 5Q0511115HL, GTI PP rear spring is 5Q0511115HM.
You could find them on e-acca, or here:

Pretty sure CSS has different rear springs than both, since fronts are different and the CSS has lower ride height.

Hi all, I currently have the CSS rear muffler on my car and love it but I want it to sound more like the actual CSS would it be worth getting the front silencer and downpipe or save myself money and just get a res delete?
In what way do you want it to sound like a CSS? It has a unique tune that brings most of the character. IE even the pops and bangs are different to a CS.
Don’t bother with the dump pipe. It’s blood money for what it is and won’t make much of a difference. But hard to suggest something until I know exactly what you are after. As it should already be pretty similar with the muffler change.

Comparing the exhaust tone the CSS sounds far more aggressive and louder than mine, is this down to the tune being different ( bangs on upshifts, overrruns etc)? Would having the CSS front/mid muffler (resonator) help it sound louder/more aggressive?
Map, R engine/turbo, overrun, muffler. Do you just want something slightly louder than stock? Pick up the Clubsport S muffler and call it a day.
You want something more aggressive than that, you’ll have to upgrade the downpipe and resonator (to cut down on drone). You can use the Clubsport S muffler still and experiment on which downpipe/res to use or just get a turboback setup. One of the forum members here, Gti jake, makes a mean sounding turboback setup. Just don’t know how expensive it is to get shipped to the UK.
If you want the overruns, get a tune. I’m sure plenty of UK tuners out there who can make it happen. You can make it sound OEM-like, similar to the Clubsport, with some burbles or straight up like gunshots.
