Details
Designed to work directly with your existing factory dampers, the Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit for the VW Golf Mk 4 (1J) Hatchback and Estate 2WD is the simplest way to drop your car 45mm and noticeably improve the way it handles. No damper changes, no calibration, no fuss.
The springs are progressively wound, which is the key to getting genuine ride quality out of a shorter, stiffer setup. The varying coil spacing gives a softer initial rate for everyday comfort and a firmer rate as the suspension loads up, so VW Golf Mk 4 (1J) Hatchback and Estate 2WD stays composed through corners without punishing you over rough surfaces. Suitable for the following Petrol engine sizes; 1.0, 1.4, 1.6, 1.6FSi, 1.8, 1.8 GTi, and 2.0L.
With springs uprated 25-30% over factory specification, the VW Golf Mk 4 (1J) Hatchback and Estate 2WD feels tighter and more connected straight away. Cornering flatter, less wallow over crests and dips, more confident steering response. The chrome silicon steel construction is shot-peened for fatigue resistance, and the powder-coat finish keeps things looking right through years of road use.
This kit is engineered specifically for the Petrol-engined variant of the VW Golf Mk 4 (1J) Hatchback and Estate 2WD fitted with the 1.0, 1.4, 1.6, 1.6FSi, 1.8, 1.8 GTi, 2.0L engines. Petrol and diesel models often have different front-end weights, which means a kit tuned for one won't always give the correct ride height on the other. Always check your engine type before ordering.
For drivers who want the look and the handling improvement without going the full coilover route, the Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit hits the sweet spot. 45mm fixed lowering, progressive coil winding, and a 25-30% increase in spring rate, all working with your factory fitted dampers.
Springs fit directly in place of your factory items, working with your existing dampers. Have the kit fitted by a qualified mechanic and get the geometry reset on a laser alignment machine afterwards. Backed by a 1-year Stance+ warranty.
This Stance+ 45mm Lowering Spring Kit is suitable for: VW Golf Mk 4 (1J) (1997-2004) Hatchback and Estate. 2WD. Fitted with the following engines: 1.4, 1.6, 1.6FSi, 1.8, 1.8T, 2.0L.
