Based on my chat with ECS the Audi/VW part no for the bolt is N10302601. The webpage says "does not fit", but the diagram I was shown seemed to identify this as the correct bolt. I ordered it. So,...

It seems too short. But, it's confusing. The ECS website doesn't say "Does not fit". But, it seems to give it a thumbs down and then correctly describes the bolt I'm looking for. I will check...

Thanks for this information

I don't have this particular problem. But, I am curious to know about how the various systems work. I am going to save what you wrote for future reference, just in case.
Thanks.

i want to lower my B5 further than the current OEM sport suspension. most of the specs on lowering springs list an expected drop from, i believe, the OEM stock suspension.
