Springs are a great replacement for any broken or old springs you may have on your Volkswagen MK4. I've had close to 200,000 on my front springs and 100,000 of them with a lift kit in the harsh Vermont winters/roads. The stock springs were broken in several places, making it very unsafe to ride. I have removed the lift kit for now but know these springs will work great with the kit to give me extra height in the future if I decide to reinstall
