Racingline Sport Springs – Volkswagen Tiguan (FWD)

If you use your Tiguan II on a daily basis and are looking to upgrade the suspension, you can’t do better than RacingLine’s VWR Sport Springs.

They replace the car’s four stock springs with re-engineered, progressive-rate and slightly shorter Sport Springs. The springs lower the Tiguan by 35-45mm (depending on model and spec) in order to preserve the wheel travel needed for ideal ride & handling. Go lower or stiffer than RacingLine’s VWR springs and your car tends to bounce and crash as the dampers are mismatched to spring-rate, and the springs themselves run out of travel.

The result? The vehicle’s high center of gravity is lowered, reducing body roll for better dynamics, whilst maintaining the ride quality and comfort of your car.

Meanwhile, the car’s SUV appearance is subtly transformed. By getting rid of those nasty SUV wheelarch gaps, it’ll look like it always should have from the factory!

RacingLine’s extensive development program has specified progressive rate springs to preserve the ride quality in normal use, but then stiffen the rates at the ends of the travel. This progressive-rate spring construction means the spring rate in the middle of travel is very similar to standard. It’s only towards the end of the spring’s travel (so, when braking or cornering hard) that RacingLine have engineered the spring to stiffen up. It’s this progressive-rate spring design that is the secret to such good ride quality combined with dynamic performance.

The Sport Springs are developed to be fully compatible with cars fitted with Volkswagen Group’s switchable DCC (adjustable chassis control) dampers.

RacingLine’s Sport Springs are high quality, European-made springs, from the same factory that produces many of the OEM springs.

Fitment for all Front Wheel Drive Tiguan II MQB 2.0 TDI & 1.6 TDI diesel plus 1.5 TSI petrol models. Including regular and Allspace models, including pre and post-facelift.

Of course, every Tiguan sits a little differently depending on its starting ride height: which model, spec and even age. But the guideline for the lowering range from factory ride height on RacingLine Sport Springs is:

> Tiguan: approx 40mm lowering front and rear
> Tiguan Allspace: approx 45mm lowering front and rear
> Tiguan R: approx 35mm lowering front and rear
