Title: trying to figure ut what these g40 springs are
Post by: DMWG40 on September 09, 2009, 06:23:18 PM
Hi

took these off my g40 when i made coilovers put on but can't remember what they are.

they say

DE  MB8715A    3

DE  MB8714B    2
the A and B could be around the other way and so could the 2 and 3
think thats the right way round, do these come out as standard vw springs.

I would say they are standard g40 springs going off the paint marks.  I just assume the two browny colours started off orange back in 1991!

ok just gave them more of  a clean up here  goes

vw/audi symbol then DE then MUB8714B 2 (large springs) Yellow/orange/orange  the orange could be brown possible.

vw/audi symbol then DE then MUB8715A 2 (small Springs) White/Brown or orange.

They are 25mm lower than standard polo springs iirc. Would say about £20 - £25
