H&R Sport Springs - 2011–2017 VW Touareg V8 TDI
H&R's Sport Springs bring the V8 TDI Touareg down off its factory ride height without asking you to touch the shocks — a straightforward stance-and-handling upgrade for a heavy SUV.
H&R’s best-selling lowering spring. It closes the fender gap, lowers the center of gravity, and cuts body roll while keeping the car comfortable enough to drive every day. The progressive spring rate is what keeps this from riding like a track spring — it works with your factory dampers, not against them.
Important Compatibility Information
H&R also publishes an identical 1.4"/1.4" Sport Spring for the V6 Touareg (2011-16) under a different part number — BMP carries that as the H&R Sport Springs, VW Touareg V6 if your car is the V6.
Why Choose H&R Sport Springs
H&R crafts every spring in this line from a special (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel and shot-peens it, a process H&R rates for more than double the service life of an untreated spring. Every spring is 100% tested before it leaves H&R’s ISO9001-certified production facility in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this affect my ride quality?
It firms up, but the progressive spring rate is designed to keep the ride comfortable for daily driving — this is H&R’s daily-driver lowering spring, not a track spring.
Do I need new shocks to run this spring?
No. H&R designs it to work with your factory dampers, and BMP does not require a shock upgrade to install it.
Do I need an alignment after installing this?
Yes. We recommend a four-wheel alignment after installation, our standard advice on any spring or sway bar job in this family.
