I don't understand the question? Usually when you are buying shock absorbers or springs, you buy it for the exact car. The length, stiffness, etc, is different. I doubt Golf's shocks would fit the i30.

Unless you are talking about the sport/"aftermarket" ones? In that case, there is a possibility you could use the same ones on more cars, but again.. You usually have to say which car you have, which engine (diesel is heavier so the shocks are not the same), etc.. Once I bought the sport shocks for my previous car - Accent, and apparently I got the front pair for the petrol engine version (which is lighter then diesel) and the car went too low (more then -5 cm in stead of going -3 cm). There are also few other factors, like..the shock absorbers not being mounted together with the springs -> seperated or together

I probably misunderstood your question and you probably know all those things, so don't get my answer wrong.. I just don't know exactly what you want.

ok ill try make it easier!


I want to get coilovers! . because there is a mazzive Audi and Vw Scene in this country its way easier to get Coilovers. and for cheaper.

i was wondering does any other coilovers from Audi's or Vw's fit I30's? or Skodas? etc etc as many Manufactuers have the same parts sometimes! i want to drop my i30 to the ground

COILOVER'S that fit the i30 are, Suzuki, Excel, Swift, Hyundai Getz and Accent
