H&R Street Performance Coilovers - VW Golf R (MK8/MK8.5)
H&R's Street Performance coilover kit brings fully adjustable ride height to the MK8 and MK8.5 Golf R. Each coilover pairs a progressive-rate spring with a custom-valved shock, so you get a matched system rather than a spring bolted to an off-the-shelf damper.
Important Compatibility Information
This kit requires H&R's EBM Electronic Bypass Module to work with the Golf R's factory DCC adaptive damping. See Required But Not Included below.
Why Choose a Street Performance Coilover
- Adjustable lowering, H&R-rated at 1.0-2.0 inches front and 0.75-1.75 inches rear

- Fully threaded shock body for on-the-car height adjustment
What's Included
