NEED HELP

[Craig_]

I've recently just bought h&r 45mm lowering springs from larkspeed for my phase 2 tce
(The face lift model) it's a 59 plate and my new front springs don't fit. They're 83mm the new ones and the original ones are about 100mm
So they don't fit on the legs
Has anyone else experienced this?
Or do I have the old suspension because of it being the begining of the facelifts

Could really use some advice
Cheers

Is this on some MK3? Don't mean to hijack the post, just I have a 2007 MK3 and was just about to order a set of these and don't want to have the same problem

Yes this is a mk3
I've literally just had the phone call from my mechanic saying they're too small for my car
If you are buying from larkspeed you have to tell them what car yours is and the engine size etc so you should be fine but with mine bring a facelift something's gone wrong

You going to send them back or?
If you aren't able to send them back, for whatever reason.. i'll take them off you?
Either way you're sorted

Great, cheers mate. Notice you're from Newcastle too so could easily pick them up if it comes to it!
Hope you get things sorted soon.
Also to answer your original question, i'm guessing the wrong ones were ordered/supplied as on the site there is an option for the facelift version.
Could you send me a photo of how low it looks on the back please when you get it back?
