We took a different approach with our design. We extensively track and street tested several iterations to deliver a system that not only makes your MK8 Golf R look great, but does so while delivering a comfortable experience that doesn't constantly crash and bottom out the dampers. Through a proper ride height configuration, we're able to greatly increase spring rates for improved handling, but do so without leaving the ride harsh, bouncy, and uncomfortable. Your MK8 Golf R will be planted with a minimal impact on comfort. It's a system you'll love the second you're behind the wheel!\nFits Volkswagen Golf R 22-24\nFor maximum handling, performance, and comfort, combine with APR Bumpstops (SUS00025).\r\n\r\nAll center of wheel to fender (CF) measurements were recorded on our in-house US Spec 2022 MK8 Golf R (DCC) test vehicles and may vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle.

Developed through extensive track and street testing, this spring system increases spring rates while maintaining a comfortable driving experience. The result is a more planted Golf R with reduced body roll, a lower center of gravity, and improved response through corners. The springs are designed for vehicles equipped with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) as well as vehicles using non-DCC original-equipment dampers.\u003cbr\u003eAPR uses high-tensile chrome silicon steel to help resist sagging and long-term failure. The dual-rate design transitions into a single-rate linear spring during loaded operation, supporting consistent performance during spirited driving while helping prevent excessive damper bottoming on the street. The system lowers the front approximately 0.83 inches and the rear approximately 0.94 inches on DCC-equipped applications, giving the MK8 Golf R a more aggressive and balanced appearance. A durable red powder-coated finish helps protect the springs from corrosion.\u003cbr\u003eThese APR lowering springs provide direct plug-and-play installation and are made in the USA. For maximum handling performance and comfort, APR recommends combining the SUS00017 spring set with APR Bumpstops, part number SUS00025. Center-of-wheel-to-fender measurements were recorded on APR's in-house U.S.-specification 2022 Volkswagen Golf R DCC test vehicles, so actual results may vary slightly based on vehicle configuration and condition. Designed specifically for the U.S.-specification MK8 Golf R, the springs may also fit other similar-platform vehicles. Professional installation and alignment are recommended after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFitment: Designed for 2022-2026 Volkswagen Golf R MK8 models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpring rate: Increases front spring rate by 45%, or 99 pounds per inch, to 319 pounds per inch on DCC applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpring rate: Increases rear spring rate by 61%, or 170 pounds per inch, to 448 pounds per inch on DCC applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLowering: Lowers the front approximately 0.83 inches and the rear approximately 0.94 inches on DCC applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Designed for use with DCC and non-DCC original-equipment dampers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Made from high-tensile chrome silicon steel to resist sagging and failure\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpring design: Dual-rate front spring transitions from 183 to 319 pounds per inch during loaded operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpring design: Dual-rate rear spring transitions from 327 to 448 pounds per inch during loaded operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinish: Red powder coating helps protect against corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHandling: Reduces body roll and improves cornering response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRide quality: Maintains street comfort and helps prevent excessive damper bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Direct plug-and-play replacement design\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufacturing: Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRecommendation: Pair with APR SUS00025 Bumpstops for maximum handling, performance, and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R Base 2026\u003cbr\u003e\nVolkswagen Golf R Black Edition 2025","brand":"APR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67590364037436,"sku":"aprSUS00017","price":308.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/9007\/files\/c415ac1a39c9e553d115546a5f4802e4L.jpg?v=1790569373","url":"https:\/\/necycleshop.com\/products\/apr-22-26-volkswagen-golf-r-mk8-roll-control-lowering-springs-red","provider":"NE Cycle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
