For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs (SUS00017) are the ultimate suspension refinement for the Volkswagen MK8 Golf R. APR’s engineering philosophy moves beyond simply "slamming" a car; these springs are the result of extensive track and street testing to find the perfect equilibrium between aggressive stance and high-performance handling. By lowering the center of gravity and increasing spring rates—up to a massive 61% in the rear—this system transforms the Golf R into a more planted, responsive machine with significantly reduced body roll and improved turn-in precision.
Manufactured in the USA from premium high-tensile chrome silicon steel, these springs are built to endure years of performance driving without sagging. They feature a dual-rate design that provides a compliant ride during daily commutes but operates as a single-rate "linear" spring under load for predictable, confidence-inspiring feedback. Whether your Golf R is equipped with DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) or standard dampers, these springs are a 100% plug-and-play upgrade.
Key Features:
- Optimized R Stance: Provides a functional, sophisticated drop of approximately 21mm (0.83") front and 24mm (0.94") rear.
- Dramatic Handling Increase: Spring rates are increased by 45% in the front and 61% in the rear for maximum cornering flat-ness.
- DCC & Non-DCC Compatible: Engineered to work perfectly with factory electronic damping modes or standard shocks.
- Linear Performance: Transitions to a linear rate during aggressive driving to provide consistent chassis feedback.
- Made in the USA: Constructed from high-tensile chrome silicon steel and powder-coated in APR's signature red for long-lasting protection.
- Streetable Comfort: Specifically tuned to avoid the "crashing" feel of generic springs, keeping the ride refined enough for daily use.
