    If you mean the spring & shokker length/rate?

    then the Syncro is heavier sprung & damped to cope with the extra weight & also the spring perch sits higher up the Syncro shokker to clear 15 inch wheels & tyres

    Here is what happens when you run Golf 1 Rear Shokkers with 195/50-15 tyres

    Don’t consider buying anything other than standard length rear shokkers, as the “Lowered” ones are far to low & the tyres rub against the bodywork.
