For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs (SUS00014) are the perfect suspension solution for VW MK7 and MK7.5 GTI/Golf R owners looking to improve both the stance and the handling of their vehicle without compromising daily drivability. Unlike many springs that offer a harsh, "bouncy" ride by simply cutting height, APR's springs were extensively track and street-tested to ensure the vehicle remains planted while maintaining a comfortable, compliant feel that avoids bottoming out the dampers.
Manufactured in the USA from high-tensile chrome silicon steel, these springs are designed to resist sagging over time and are finished in APR's signature red powder coating for maximum corrosion resistance. They are fully compatible with both DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) and standard non-DCC factory dampers, making them a true plug-and-play upgrade.
Features:
- Improved Stance: Provides a significant reduction in wheel-to-fender (CF) height for a more aggressive look.
- Increased Spring Rates: Up to 76% increase in rates (depending on model) to significantly reduce body roll and sharpen handling.
- Linear Performance: While technically a dual-rate design, they operate as a linear spring under load to provide predictable, consistent handling.
- Optimized Ride Quality: Specifically engineered to avoid riding on the OEM bump stops, preventing the "crashing" sensation common with lower-quality springs.
- DCC Compatible: Works seamlessly with factory electronic damping systems.
- Premium Materials: Made in the USA from chrome silicon steel with a signature red powder-coated finish.
