Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs VW Golf IV / Bora (1J) TDI & GTI
Transform the way your Golf IV or Bora feels on the road with Eibach Sportline lowering springs. This kit drops the car’s centre of gravity, giving you sharper turn-in, reduced body roll and a more planted feel through bends.
Sportline is Eibach’s more aggressive road spring, designed for drivers who want a clearly sportier ride while still keeping the car usable every day. Comfort is firmer than standard, but remains controlled when matched with good quality dampers.
Key benefits
- Lower, more purposeful stance without going overboard
- Improved cornering grip and stability
- Reduced body roll for a more direct, connected feel
- Works well with uprated shocks for a balanced setup
- Engineered by Eibach for consistent performance and reliability
Note: Not suitable for vehicles with factory self-levelling suspension or 4WD. On cars lowered heavily with large drive shafts, you may need an alternative anti-roll bar or drop links to maintain safe clearance.
