Why Choose APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs?

Forget harsh, bouncy rides. APR took a meticulous approach, extensively track and street testing various iterations to engineer a system that:

• Enhances Appearance: Achieves a superb, lowered stance that makes your MK8 Golf R look even more aggressive and purposeful.
• Improves Handling: Significantly reduces unwanted body roll, leading to sharper turn-in and a more planted feel through corners.
• Maintains Comfort: Unlike many lowering springs that feel overly stiff, APR's unique design ensures your ride remains comfortable, preventing constant crashing and bottoming out of the dampers.
• Optimized Performance: Through a proper ride height configuration, we've greatly increased spring rates for superior handling, all while maintaining excellent daily drivability.
• Direct Fit & Easy Upgrade: A seamless "plug-and-play" installation makes this a straightforward performance modification.

Precision Engineering & Premium Quality:

These high-performance VW Golf R lowering springs were designed in-house by APR and manufactured in the USA, using only premium materials:

• High Tensile Chrome Silicon Steel: Ensures excellent resilience against sagging and failure, promising years of consistent performance.
• Signature Red Powder Coating: Each spring is beautifully finished in APR's signature red, providing an extra layer of protection against corrosion and the elements.
• Intelligent Dual-Rate Design: Front and rear springs feature a clever dual-rate design. They operate as a smooth, linear single-rate spring under normal driving conditions, transitioning seamlessly to a higher rate for enhanced support during spirited maneuvers.
