High-tensile chrome silicon steel. Shot-peened for strength. Powder-coated black for weather protection. Progressively wound for a refined ride. The Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit for the VW Beetle (9C/1Y/1C) Hatchback and Cabriolet brings proper engineering to a fixed 45mm drop. Only suitable for the 2.3V5 and 1.9TDi.
The progressive wound design is what gives these springs their broad usability. Light bumps and small road imperfections compress the looser top coils for a comfortable ride. Push harder into a corner and the tighter lower coils take over, giving you the firmer rate that controls body roll and keeps the VW Beetle (9C/1Y/1C) Hatchback and Cabriolet planted. One spring, two characters, depending on what you ask of it.
The Stance+ springs are around 25-30% stiffer than the factory springs, which is enough to make a real difference to how the car handles without crossing into uncomfortable territory. You'll feel less body roll in corners, a quicker turn-in response, and a more planted feel at speed. Materials are high-grade: shot-peened chrome silicon steel, powder-coated black.
Designed to suit daily driven cars, this kit gives your VW Beetle (9C/1Y/1C) Hatchback and Cabriolet 2.3V5 and 1.9TDi a meaningful 45mm drop and proper handling improvements without the cost or complexity of a coilover kit. Progressive winding makes the everyday compromise minimal.
The springs are a direct replacement for your factory items and work with your existing factory fitted dampers. We always recommend professional fitting by a qualified mechanic, and a full alignment reset on a proper laser machine once installed. Stance+ Lowering Springs are backed by a 1-year warranty as standard.
