Used Volkswagen Golf Coil Spring

The Mk7 Golf ran from 2013 to 2019 (facelift in 2017) and the Mk8 from 2020 onwards, and these are different generations with different suspension geometry, so the springs are not the same. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Yes, coil springs are fitted to the Golf across all generations, typically at the front (strut-based setup) and rear (torsion beam on lower-spec models or a multi-link setup on higher-spec and performance variants). Your specific rear suspension type will affect which rear spring you need, so confirm with the breaker using your registration.

The Mk6 ran from 2009 to 2013 and the Mk7 from 2013 to 2019 — these are separate generations with different suspension designs, so the springs do not carry over between them. Stick to parts from the correct generation and confirm against your registration with the breaker.

Engine size can influence suspension specification, as heavier or more powerful variants may have uprated springs to handle the additional load and performance. Confirm with the breaker which engine and variant your car is, as they can check the correct spring rate and specification against your registration.

Trim level alone (SE, Match, Life, Style) does not determine fitment for coil springs, but the GTI and other performance trims may have different suspension specifications compared to standard models. Confirm with your breaker whether the spring you are looking at came from a standard or performance variant, as this can affect the rate and ride height — never assume a direct swap without checking.

For the front axle, side does matter as NS (nearside/left) and OS (offside/right) springs should correspond to the correct strut assembly, so tell the breaker which corner needs replacing. Rear springs on many Golf variants are interchangeable side to side, but confirm this with the breaker against your specific model and generation to be sure.
