Bottom of the B-Pillar? Can't remember which side.

They probably just want to know if you have 50mm or 55mm strut diameter.

If you have a GTI it's 55mm

Alrighty found the plate but is blank. Printing in it vin number on it and the kg but no numbers. My GTI is Apr 2011 build if that helps

Have you looked in the owners manual?

I found on the AwesomeGTI website there is 4 options in AP Coilovers - 2 options in 50mm (1060kg OR 1061-1170kg) and 2 options in 55mm (1060kg OR 1061-1170kg). Anyone have an idea on which one??

MK6 GTI is 1060F / 880R
Volkswagen Golf MK6 suspension from KW

The >1061 is for the TDI models & the R

The 50mm strut is for 77TSI - 118TSI. The GTI and R (and i believe TDI's but not 100%) use the larger 55mm diameter strut.

TDI are heavier in the front (diesel engines are heavy) and both the R32 and R models are also heavier in the front due to engine/gbox config for the AWD systems.

Thanks Lucas I was aware that for the GTI they were the 55mm struts but what about weight?? would GTI's be the 1060kg and TDI & R's be the 1060-1170kg?
