I didn't think this will be this frustrating after seeing all these claims of Beetle springs work great.
Appreciate the input. If I can find cheap Yaris springs I might just try those.

What is your goal? Are you trying to lower the car or go for better handling? :confused:
If you're after better handling, a rear sway bar is going to be your best bang for the buck.
I have zero experience with air bag suspensions, but it may solve your concern?

I installed 2003 Beetle springs, not lowering, and they were almost say size as OEM. 50k and no problems. I recommend them.
Did you remember if they were the same length (side by side) when relax before you installed them? The 2003 I bought were too long.
This where my confusion is coming from -- folks like yourself are having no issues using 1998- 2006 Beetle spring but when I bought my 2003 spring they are too long. Are there different springs for the Beetle from the factory other than lowering springs?
Yep same length. I bought used, not new, as did the guy in this thread

The problem may be buying new? I dunno.
My Suzuki Swift rear springs still works great for 5 years and its still has the same height and stance.
Didnt noticed any change in height. No bottoming at all.
