I have front lowering springs on my 1998 T5M. Removing them at some point, just not sure when. Where are you in PA? I'm in NJ occasionally.

Here are the springs installed. I think they are lowering because I only count seven coils (by feel with my hand jammed in there), not eight like I see in stock springs. The rears are certainly lowering due to their compact nature and the car certainly sits lower than my others. I suspect they are TME brand since the previous owner said the rear lowering springs were TME and the exhaust he installed is TME. Sadly one of the rears is cracked so that pair is going to scrap.

I'll also be selling all four Bilstein B6 struts and shocks. I've only driven about 100 miles on them so I can't confirm how functional they are. The ride is quite harsh, but I guess that's the point.

I don't know how many miles are on the parts. The car sat for the past six years. They have some rust since they spent their whole life in central NH.

I'll PM you about possibly meeting up.
