Description Product

Details about : Sport shock absorbers and short springs kit -40mm for VW Golf 1


Suspension kit short springs and sport shock absorbers for VW Golf 1 -40 mm


The short springs in the sport kit will help you optimize the driving comfort of your VW Golf 1. Once installed, they will allow you to lower your vehicle's center of gravity by 40mm for a sportier character and look.


Compatible with the following models:

- Golf 1 Sedan 3 or 5 doors including Golf GTI

- Golf 1 Cabriolet including GLI

- Jetta 1


Shock absorbers play a complementary role to springs, refining roadholding, braking efficiency and vehicle handling.


Changing shock absorbers is a costly operation, but crucial to the safety of the driver and passengers.


What's more, driving with a worn suspension precipitates the deterioration of other vehicle components, such as tires.


The short spring and sport shock absorber kit for Volkswagen Golf 1 consists of :

- 2 front shock absorbers with struts

- 2 rear shock absorbers with lower cups

- 4 short springs -40mm


Screws not included


How can I tell if my springs and shock absorbers are worn?


Visually, you can easily spot signs of wear, such as hydraulic leaks or spring breakage.


Other negative consequences should not be overlooked:

- Increased braking distances

- Uneven roadholding

- Noise or rattling when negotiating obstacles such as speed bumps


When replacing your shock absorbers, it's advisable to change the thrust and suspension bearings. These parts are subjected to high pressure, which accelerates their ageing process.

No assembly instructions, but the shock absorbers are nicer than the original.
