Product details
Product information
Overview
Most lowering springs make a car look lower and feel stiffer, then call it handling. APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs were developed the other way around. We built and tested several iterations on the track and the street to find a ride height and spring rate combination that genuinely improves how the GTI drives, without the crashing, bouncing and bottoming out that ruin a daily driver.
For maximum handling, performance, and comfort, combine with APR Bumpstops (SUS00025). All center of wheel to fender (CF) measurements were recorded on our in-house US Spec 2022 MK8 GTI (DCC) test vehicles and may vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle. Lastly, while this system was designed specifically for the US Spec 2022 MK8 GTI, it will fit other similar platform vehicles.
Features & Benefits
- Lowers the GTI 22 mm (0.87 in) front and 29 mm (1.14 in) rear, closing the factory wheel gap for an aggressive, balanced stance
- Proper ride height pairing keeps dampers out of the bump stops, so the car does not crash or bottom out over rough roads
- Dual-rate design behaves as a single-rate linear spring under normal driving loads for predictable, consistent handling
- Increases spring rate 36% front (274 lbs/in) and 50% rear (420 lbs/in) to cut body roll and sharpen turn-in
- Track and street tested through multiple iterations to stay comfortable on the street, not just stiff
- High-tensile chrome silicon steel resists sagging and fatigue for long-term ride height consistency
- Direct plug-and-play replacement for the factory springs, works with DCC and non-DCC OEM dampers
- Pair with APR Lowering Bumpstops (SUS00025) for maximum handling, performance and comfort
- Signature APR red powder coat protects against corrosion and road salt
- Fits 2022-2026 VW GTI, including the 2025+ MK8.5 refresh
- Designed in house and made in the USA
