Description
APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs - MK7 / MK7.5 GTI / Golf R Fits 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf R, GTI
OVERVIEW
Elevate the performance and aesthetics of your 2015-2021 Volkswagen MK7 / MK7.5 GTI and Golf R with APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs. Engineered for both DCC and Non-DCC dampers, these performance lowering springs offer a direct plug-and-play upgrade, lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity and increasing spring rates to reduce body roll without compromising comfort or breaking the bank.
Unlike many lowering springs that only provide a stiffer ride, APR’s design ensures a balanced improvement. Extensively track and street-tested, these springs maintain a comfortable experience without bottoming out or riding harshly on bump stops. The result is a planted GTI or Golf R that looks great and drives even better.
Designed in-house and manufactured in the USA from premium high tensile chrome silicon steel, these springs resist sagging and failure. They feature a durable powder-coated red finish to protect against the elements. The dual-rate spring design operates as a single-rate linear spring under normal driving conditions, ensuring consistent performance.
