Yes I am ..Let me makes sure that is the correct spring but i think it is. It should be 15" extended 10" compressed and 1 5/8 Diameter.

Thank you for the info. I am aware or the issue If they have had the upgrade done the shaft will be 14mm rather than 10mm. I sent mine off to Bilstein. They upgraded the one that actually made it there and sent it back. They were great to work with and stated they would upgrade another for me when I found a replacement.

I believe the A273T1 may actually be the updated version. I sent Bilstein an email to confirm.

I have two with Springs from my MK3 unused. Car has IRS so springs and shocks were all the same but Bilstein would not upgrade the rear under their agreement. Upgrade cost was more than cost of a new set of Konis from FFR so I mixed suspension but it appears to work very well. I did put the new Konis on the front and the updated Bilstein to rear.
