The taller one is typically for the rear end.

[EthanR]

ok so any reason that there is such a difference?

[Jecht]

The one in the back is usually longer to give the rear suspension more travel.

long ones go in the front....somewhere on the spring the should be a F meanin the front and a R for rear...but pretty sure its the longer ones in front.

ha just noticed that theres a start b/c my car was way to low reps to both

Sorry about that, I was thinking VW - the springs on the back of the Golf/Jetta/GTI are always longer. lol

long one goes in the FRONT!

ok so any reason that there is such a difference?

probably because the end with the engine is usually heavier than the end without an engine.


engines are pretty freakin heavy.

Taller in the front, I just installed mine 2 weeks ago. But really they only fit properly on the correct strut.
