Review on Optimized for SEO: Moog 81055 Coil Spring Set by Dan Dickey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2007 Beetle Great Rear Spring Replacement

The springs were about 2 inches taller, nearly 1/8 inch larger in diameter at the coil, and the ends were nearly identical. It was hard to tell how the spring should have been installed as it was different from the original, but I found that the spring only fit one way. If the spring is rotated wrongly or installed upside down, the end of the spool when installed in the position of the rubber bushing and base holder will come into contact with the lever and will not work without interference. It made contact when installed properly, but once the shock was connected and weight was placed on the springs, it moved away from the arm, providing a NON-INTERFERENCE fit. I really like the springs, they're better than I was hoping for, the machine isn't too stiff but the rear is lifted almost 2 inches. Now it rides and drives much better and I have ordered their front struts with new springs so I can make the front ones and I hope they raise the front 2 inches as well and give it the same great ride as the rear. I definitely recommend this product and this supplier.
