HEAVY-DUTY SPRINGS

The Rabbits, Sciroccos, Golf and Jetta have all suffered from poor springs, particularly the early models. Stock springs on Rabbits, Sciroccos, and Jettas are a little weak for any of these conditions: hard driving, gravel roads, a two-hundred pound carpenter's tool box, or four two-hundred pound adults. If you regularly drive under these conditions or you are not satisfied with too frequent "bottoming out," then our heavy-duty springs are the ticket. The sets we sell are the heaviest "almost standard" sets on the market. They are U.S. made by a major manufacturer of suspension products. Quality is first-class.

The springs are standard height, progressive rate (which means as the spring is compressed, the rate of load which you can carry increases), and approximately twenty percent stiffer than the highest rate and heaviest factory GTI spring. With these springs installed your  car will ride a fraction of an inch higher than stock, and, as they are progressive, the spring rate the local carrying capacity actually increases as the car is loaded. As a  bonus, the car will have GTI-like handling.

SPRING COMPRESSOR

We sell a spring compressor tool; it's not U.S. made, but it works and will last for 100 spring jobs. It's plenty strong enough for VW® springs, a little weak for Ford Truck springs. It's low price can fool you. Follow the directions.

OEM Front Springs

Front springs on water-cooled VWs tend to wear out after 100,000 miles The ONLY solution is to buy a new pair of  springs. Our OEM springs are the finest available and should last a hundred thousand miles. The early Rabbit and Scirocco, '74-79 had front springs with all equal sized coils. The '80 on models came with springs that had a smaller diameter coil, or pig-tail on the top (i.e. all coils were the same diameter except the top coil, which is smaller). These "new" model springs tend to last longer and have less fatigue and breakage. Your older car can be updated with these; all you need to do is to buy a pair, and a pair of newer spring style upper spring mounts.

PIECE IT TOGETHER FOREVER!

What “recycled” used to mean before P.C. (Politically Correct) was “reuse” or just use until it’s complete useful life is up.

Now the mumbo jumbo spin doctors, Green Peace’s executive directors whose job is to keep their $250,000 a year job, and double talking politicians have us believing a Coke bottle is not where it’s at; they have us believing that grinding the bottle up into ground glass is recycling.

Don’t recycle a good repairable car or part into ground up steel ore, use it as a car! Fix it, use it forever!

Real recycling is using!

OEM Strut Bearings

The whole weight of the automobile is supported by a bearing about as big as a half dollar, vulcanized into a rubber mount at the top of the strut. The spindle, lower control arms, tie rods, and drive shafts carry zero weight. When it fails, or when the rubber separates, you get a clunk-clunk every time you go over a divider in the concrete, or even a small bump.
