Since the launch of the Golf 5 in 2005, Volkswagen Racing has spent years developing suspension kits suited for vehicles competing in the Volkswagen Racing Cup and is pleased to announce a suspension line designed for street and track enthusiasts the world over. Volkswagen Racing's StreetSport are completely upgradeable with direct fit camber plates.
Many suspension kits are designed to either ascetically lower the vehicle or deliver a harsh driving experience which many mistake for performance. Too often these systems use standard off the shelf components with little to any real world R&D. For 12 months, Volkswagen Racing developed a coilover system specifically for your VAG platform with valving, spring types and spring rates designed for the comfort of daily driving with the handling and control necessary for spirited driving on and off the track.
As a premium product, all the VWR Coilover family are all of a monotube damper design. The main advantages of monotube dampers are that the pistons are much larger than those of twin-tube dampers, which are more normally the design that cheaper dampers follow. The larger monotube piston creates more flow through the valves than the smaller twin-tube piston as it can displace more oil through the valve; this makes the mono-tube damper more sensitive to small suspension movement.
