What This Kit Helps Address

• Excessive factory ride height on lowered street setups
• Uneven suspension response between front and rear
• Need for adjustable stance without changing vehicle fitment coverage
• Worn or tired dampers on supported Volkswagen and Audi platforms
• Road exposure concerns where corrosion resistance matters

Installation Notes

Verify chassis details before ordering, including strut diameter, electronic suspension presence, and axle-load notes where listed. This kit installs at the front and rear and should be set to the desired ride height before final alignment. For Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen R32, Audi A3, and Audi A3 Quattro applications, confirm the 55mm outside strut diameter requirement. For Volkswagen Passat applications, confirm whether the vehicle uses electronic suspension.
