Q:How can this be the same part for all sub models and engines? I'm pretty sure the 2003 VR6 GLI requires a heavy duty front strut. Show Less
Joshua
A:BEST ANSWERHi Josh, I'm glad to assist you. It is a heavy-duty type since the strut assembly is with a twin-tube design. If your car appears in the vehicle fitment information below, it is a guaranteed fit part. Grab our best offer for a front set of struts, with part number SET-1336306-F.
