APR Roll-Control Lowering Springs were developed the other way around. We built and tested several iterations on the track and the street to find a ride height and spring rate combination that genuinely improves how the GTI drives, without the crashing, bouncing and bottoming out that ruin a daily driver.\n\nThe result drops your GTI 22 mm (0.87 in) up front and 28 mm (1.14 in) out back, with 36% more front spring rate and 50% more rear spring rate than stock. The car sits flatter through corners, turns in sharper and feels more planted at speed, while the ride stays comfortable enough to live with every day.\n\nEvery spring is designed in house and made in the USA from high-tensile chrome silicon steel, then 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 GTI, including the 2025+ MK8.5. For the complete package, add APR Lowering Bumpstops (SUS00025).\n\nMeasured on US 2022 MK8 GTI (DCC), Front:\n\n362 mm (OEM) vs 340 mm (APR), a 22 mm reduction in CF height\n\n202 lbs\/in (OEM) vs 274 lbs\/in (APR), a 36% increase in spring rate\n\nMeasured on US 2022 MK8 GTI (DCC), Rear:\n\n368 mm (OEM) vs 340 mm (APR), a 28 mm reduction in CF height\n\n280 lbs\/in (OEM) vs 420 lbs\/in (APR), a 50% increase in spring rate\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowers the GTI 22 mm (0.87 in) front and 29 mm (1.14 in) rear, closing the factory wheel gap for an aggressive, balanced stance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases spring rate 36% front (274 lbs\/in) and 50% rear (420 lbs\/in) to cut body roll and sharpen turn-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack and street tested through multiple iterations to stay comfortable on the street, not just stiff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProper ride height pairing keeps dampers out of the bump stops, so the car does not crash or bottom out over rough roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-rate design behaves as a single-rate linear spring under normal driving loads for predictable, consistent handling\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 GTI, 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\u003e22mm (Front) (2022 MK8 GTI DCC), 29mm (Rear) (2022 MK8 GTI 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\u003e274 lbs\/in (Front) \/ 420 lbs\/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 GTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e810009934318\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSUS00016\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\/99bd4762addfa439dd00b2b5363470414c08ba4f.pdf\" title=\"Instructions - tl100168_sus00016_mk8_gti.pdf\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003cdiv\u003eInstructions - tl100168_sus00016_mk8_gti.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\u003eFor maximum handling, performance, and comfort, combine with APR Bumpstops (SUS00025).\n\nAll center of wheel to fender (CF) measurements were recorded on our in-house US Spec 2022 MK8 GTI (DCC) test vehicles and may vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle.
