APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs - MK8 GTI Fits 2022-2024 Volkswagen GTI
OVERVIEW
Transform the look and feel of your 2022-2024 Volkswagen MK8 GTI 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 significantly reduce body roll, all while maintaining a comfortable ride and a budget-friendly price.
Unlike many lowering springs that give a false sense of improvement by being overly stiff, APR’s Roll-Control Lowering Springs are extensively track and street-tested to ensure a balanced enhancement. These springs provide a comfortable driving experience without bottoming out or riding harshly on bump stops. The result is a GTI that handles better, looks great, and remains comfortable on the street.
Designed in-house and manufactured in the USA using premium high tensile chrome silicon steel, these springs are built to resist sagging and failure. The signature red powder-coated finish offers protection against the elements. Featuring a dual-rate spring design, they operate as single-rate linear springs under normal driving conditions, ensuring consistent performance.
