Sport Suspension Kit
A perfectly tuned set of Sport Springs and Uprated Sport Dampers for VW Golf R & GTI, Scirocco, Leon Cupra, Octavia vRS & more
Give your car a whole new lease of life with the RacingLine Sport Suspension upgrade. We've struck a ride & handling balance that matches the very best thoroughbred German performance cars - tight, perfectly controlled yet unmistakably sporty.
What do
they do?
Many experts consider suspension development to be as much an art as a science. In truth, it's a bit of both.
When it comes to a matched set of Performance Sport Dampers and Sport Springs at an affordable price, this kit solves compromise between performance and comfort for keen drivers for Golf 7, A3 8V and other VWG cars on the MQB platform.
This kit combines the RacingLine Sport Damper kit with our carefully matched Sport Spring kit - combining two front and two rear Tri-Valve dampers with a set of 4 Sport Springs specific to your car type.
The kit will lower your car by around 15-25mm dependant on model, and provide a taught, controlled ride and handling balance.
Extensive development from our vast race set-up experience on the MQB platform ensures superior road-holding and a positive transformation in handling characteristics, all achieved without compromising comfort.
Ride quality is just how a good hot-hatch should be. A little stiffer than factory, sure, but never crash or uncomfortable.
All of which guarantees greater stability, control - and therefore driving pleasure. And isn't that what it's all about?
MOTORSPORT QUALITY
Our motorsport suspension expertise allows us to build a high quality, fast-road orientated damper kit.
NO DAMPER FADE
The addition of Nitrogen gas into the system eliminates oil foaming when the oil is hot, the main cause of shock fade. Our design limits the heat build-up internally ensuring the oil lasts longer.
TRI-VALVE TECHNOLOGY
Ensures suitability of dampers for both standard and lowered cars, as well as sporty feel during high speed cornering on smooth surfaces and comfort on uneven surfaces.
PERFECTLY MATCHED
The shock absorbers have a precisely matched damping curve to the VWR Sport Spring rate which are included with each kit. Compatible with any brand of anti-roll bars.
DUAL TUBE DESIGN
Comfort guaranteed thanks to dual tube design and low pressure Nitrogen gas system.
QUALITY OIL
The internal oil longevity far exceeds OEM spec and many rival aftermarket dampers of similar value due to the higher quality oil used in the VWR Sport Dampers.
PRECISION ENGINEERED FOR PERFECT PERFORMANCE.
Precisely matched damping curve to the VWR Sport Spring progressive-rate construction.
Intelligent Tri-Valve technology is what sets our Sports Dampers apart from standard OEM dampers.
Nitrogen gas fill eliminates oil foaming when the oil is hot, the main cause of shock fade.
Damper features three hydraulic valves: bump, rebound and a main valve, controlled by low and high speed shaft frequencies (smooth and rough road conditions).

A few miles down the road we’re marvelling at how comfortable the ride is once again. Sure, it’s on the sportier side, but you could easily believe this was the factory suspension. It’s only when you attack a series of bends that you realise how much more agile this is than a standard R. Not only does it change direction smartly but it feels very planted too. It’s a car that inspires confidence, encouraging you to thread corners together just for the fun of it.

DCC & ADAPTIVE DAMPERS
Our Sport Suspension Kits are fully compatible with cars fitted with the factory adaptive damping technology. Of course it will no longer have the adjustment option - just a perfectly judged ride/handling balance all the time.
However, you will need to supply a defeat kit to avoid the warning light illuminating. Your supplying dealer can help you source this.
