Flatout GR Lite – Daily Comfort with Extra Clearance

The Flatout GR Lite Suspension System is designed for drivers who spend most of their time on the road but want extra confidence when leaving the pavement. Built by Flatout Suspension as a complete lift suspension system, the GR Lite provides improved ground clearance, stability, and comfort on rough surfaces, all without compromising daily drivability.

Optimized for a 2-inch lift (adjustable 0–3”), the GR Lite allows your Volkswagen Golf Mk5 to handle light off-road trails, camping setups, or added gear without affecting smooth and controlled on-road handling. Unlike budget lift kits or basic spring/shock combos, the GR Lite features rebuildable uprights, adjustable damping, and customizable spring rates, giving you freedom to fine-tune your suspension for a planted, balanced ride.

The kit comes with four complete assemblies that replace your stock shocks and springs, ensuring consistent performance, balance, and comfort for both daily driving and light off-road use.

Key Features

• 0–3” adjustable lift (optimized for 2”) for increased ground clearance
• Complete front and rear assemblies replace stock shocks and springs
• Increases travel 2” over OEM for additional stroke and droop to keep tires planted
• Linear rate springs approximately +5% over OEM for predictable handling
• 20-point rebound adjustable shocks for precise tuning
• Rebuildable design with stainless steel shims and lightweight synthetic oil
• Electro-plated nickel cartridges for corrosion resistance
• Rubber upper mounts reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (OEM-style)
• Radial bearings in front assemblies for improved steering precision

• Individual replacement parts available for long-term maintenance
