Racingline Sport Lowering Springs VW Golf Mk7/8 R (Estate)/Octavia VRS Mk3 (Estate) – VWR31G70RW
Give your high-performance estate the perfect stance and a significant handling upgrade with the Racingline Sport Lowering Springs. This simple yet highly effective upgrade is the ideal solution for drivers who want to improve their car’s aesthetics and driving dynamics without the cost and complexity of a full coilover system.
The factory springs on these estate models are often a compromise, leaving the car with those unsightly wheelarch gaps and a slightly floaty feel. By replacing them with Racingline Sport Springs, you’ll instantly lower your car’s center of gravity and give it a much more aggressive, purposeful look.
The Perfect Balance of Performance and Comfort
Racingline Sport Springs are engineered to provide the perfect balance between a sportier feel and excellent ride quality. By replacing the standard springs with a shorter and stiffer progressive-rate spring, the vehicle’s center of gravity is lowered, which:
- Reduces Body Roll: Improves handling and cornering stability by minimizing chassis flex during spirited driving.
- Enhances Steering Feel: Provides a more direct and connected feel to the road.
- Improves Aesthetics: Gives your car a perfect drop of around 20-25mm at both the front and rear, making it look like it always should have from the factory.
The secret to the excellent ride quality is the progressive-rate spring construction. The spring rate in the middle of travel is very similar to standard, preserving a smooth ride in normal use. However, the springs stiffen up towards the end of the travel, such as during hard braking or cornering, providing the dynamic performance you expect.
Crucially, these springs have been meticulously designed to work in perfect harmony with the standard dampers, including cars fitted with VW’s switchable DCC (Adaptive Chassis Control) dampers, so no other changes are needed.
