Details
When standard coilovers won't go low enough, the Stance+ Proline steps in. Base-adjustable in length, the front struts physically shorten or lengthen to achieve your desired ride height, meaning full piston rod travel is maintained no matter how low you run your VW Golf Mk 5 (1K) Hatchback, Cabriolet and Estate 2WD and 4 Motion. Up to 75mm of drop on most applications.
Base adjustment is the Proline's defining feature. Where most coilover kits achieve lowering by repositioning the spring seat, the Proline front struts change in physical length. Shorten the strut to go lower, lengthen it to go higher. The result is that your piston rod always has its full stroke available, giving the suspension system everything it needs to do its job properly at any ride height from 30 to 75mm of drop. Adjustment can be done while the kit is on the car.
Underneath the Proline's headline drop numbers is a properly specified damper package. Gas-assisted, oil-filled FUCH dampers uprated around 25-30% over standard, with NOK oil seals for durability and FUCH damper oil for consistent lubricity. Chrome silicon springs are shot-peened for strength and powder-coated black. Powder coated damper bodies complete a kit that's engineered to perform and built to last.
Fixed damping is set at around 25-30% above factory specification, tuned to suit the specific weight and geometry of your VW Golf Mk 5 (1K) Hatchback, Cabriolet and Estate 2WD and 4 Motion. It's a firm, capable setup that strikes the right balance between handling performance and day-to-day usability.
The Proline's base-adjustable design gives your VW Golf Mk 5 (1K) up to 75mm of drop while keeping 100% damper travel intact, so the suspension system can do its job properly at any ride height.
The kit uses your OE top mounts and bearings. New ones are always worth fitting at the same time. Before installation, copper grease all threaded components to protect them and make future height adjustments straightforward. Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician, with a full alignment reset afterwards. Drop links are included where needed. Backed by a 2-year Stance+ warranty.
Kit supplied with 55mm front strut diameters.
