-3 would be the correct springs if you had a SQ5 with a TDI engine....

Im so glad you didnt buy the BS they were feeding you.

I did not wish to start a war over this but instead save some of you some time and expense.

If anyone can stand to my face and tell me that dropping a US spec SQ5 1.0 front and 1.5 rear is the proper way to lower this platform....they may loose some teeth. Lol

These people are idiots. Its not about the gaps but instead the equal drops between front and rear suspension. Rewind and read the above statement.

Approved for the sq5. So it comes down to if you want it lower and gap to look same go with the -1 if you want the correct springs is the -3
