Racingline Sport Springs – Volkswagen Golf R Estate

RacingLine’s Sport Springs replace the car’s four stock springs with re-engineered, progressive-rate and slightly shorter Sport Springs. The springs lower the Golf mk8 R estate/wagon by around 20-25mm front and rear in order to preserve the wheel travel needed for ideal ride & handling. Go lower or stiffer than RacingLine’s 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.

RacingLine’s have 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’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.

Give your Golf R Estate the ride-height it deserves!
