What it gives up from the factory is body control. APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs fix that without turning a refined daily driver into something you dread on a rough road.\n\nWe developed these springs through multiple rounds of track and street testing to land on a ride height and spring rate combination that changes how the car drives, not just how it looks. Ride height drops 21 mm (0.83 in) up front and 24 mm (0.94 in) out back, while spring rate climbs 45% front and 61% rear. The car rolls less, rotates more willingly on corner entry and stays composed through fast transitions, with ride quality that remains comfortable every day.\n\nEach spring is designed in house and made in the USA from high-tensile chrome silicon steel, finished in APR's signature red powder coat. They bolt in place of the factory springs, work with both DCC and non-DCC dampers and fit every 2022-2026 Golf R, including the 2025+ MK8.5. Add APR Lowering Bumpstops (SUS00025) for the complete package.\n\nMeasured on US 2022 MK8 Golf R (DCC), Front:\n\n365 mm (OEM) vs 344 mm (APR), a 21 mm reduction in CF height\n\n220 lbs\/in (OEM) vs 319 lbs\/in (APR), a 45% increase in spring rate\n\nMeasured on US 2022 MK8 Golf R (DCC), Rear:\n\n367 mm (OEM) vs 343 mm (APR), a 24 mm reduction in CF height\n\n278 lbs\/in (OEM) vs 448 lbs\/in (APR), a 61% increase in spring rate\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowers the Golf R 21 mm (0.83 in) front and 24 mm (0.94 in) rear for a tighter wheel gap and a more aggressive stance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases spring rate 45% front (319 lbs\/in) and 61% rear (448 lbs\/in), the largest rear rate gain in the APR MQB spring lineup, to control body roll and help the AWD chassis rotate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-rate front (183 to 319 lbs\/in) and rear (327 to 448 lbs\/in) springs operate as single-rate linear springs under normal driving loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack and street tested through multiple iterations to deliver real handling gains without a harsh, bouncy ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect ride height pairing keeps the dampers working in their range so the car does not crash or bottom out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect plug-and-play replacement for the factory springs, works with DCC and non-DCC OEM dampers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2022-2026 VW Golf R, including the 2025+ MK8.5 refresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-tensile chrome silicon steel resists sagging and fatigue for long-term ride height consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature APR red powder coat protects against corrosion and road salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned in house and made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with APR Lowering Bumpstops (SUS00025) for maximum handling, performance and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\tAPR\n\t\t\n\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuspension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmission Code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLowering maximum\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21mm (Front) (2022 MK8 Golf R DCC), 24mm (Rear) (2022 MK8 Golf R DCC) IN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003epart type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoil Spring Lowering Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuspension Systems (Springs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpring Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium high tensile chrome silicon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e319 lb\/in (Front) \/ 448 lb\/in (Rear)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Rate (unloaded) \/ Linear (loaded)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSub Category\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuspension, Springs and Related Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVersion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMK8 Golf R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e810009934325\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSUS00017\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEmissions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis part is legal for sale or use on Emissions Controlled Vehicles, Uncontrolled (Non-Emissions Controlled) Vehicles, and Racing Use Only Vehicles because it does not affect vehicle emissions and is not covered by emissions regulations.\u003ch2\u003eTech Resources\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/documents.goapr.com\/f61dfae268dbc7f40debdc169a432063e11894bb.pdf\" title=\"Instructions - tl100169_sus00017_mk8_r.pdf\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003cdiv\u003eInstructions - tl100169_sus00017_mk8_r.pdf\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cdiv\u003e\n\t\t\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\t\u003cdiv\u003eMeasured on a US-spec 2022 MK8 Golf R (DCC).
