Racingline VW Golf Mk7 ‘R’ Lowering Springs
Give your VW Golf Mk7 R 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 the Golf R are a compromise, leaving the car sitting higher than it should and allowing for excessive body roll. 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: Provides a perfect drop of around 25mm at the front and 20mm at the rear, eliminating the unsightly wheelarch gaps and giving your car the aggressive stance it deserves.
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 those fitted with VW’s switchable DCC (Adaptive Chassis Control) dampers, so no other changes are needed.
Key Features:
- Lowering Range: Approximately 25mm front, 20mm rear.
- Progressive Spring Rates: Designed to be comfortable during normal driving and to stiffen up under cornering loads.
- Compatible with Standard & DCC Dampers: Works seamlessly with both types of suspension.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured to the highest standards by a key European OE manufacturer.
Upgrade your Golf R’s handling and appearance with the Racingline Sport Lowering Springs.
