You can set the ride height, damping and corner weights to suit the car, making them ideal for fast road driving and track days. This kit is the 54.5mm including GTI FWD version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-Series is built around a 46mm piston in a 53mm monotube damper body. The extra oil capacity lowers peak temperatures, so damping stays consistent when the car is driven hard for long periods. Damping is set with a single 30-way adjuster that controls rebound and compression together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRide height is set by winding the bottom mount up or down the damper body rather than moving the spring, so full damper travel is kept whatever height you run. The lower spring platform also adjusts, so the car can be corner weighted for even tyre loading across each axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping:\u003c\/strong\u003e A single 30-way adjuster that sets rebound and compression together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/6kg\/mm (F\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes pillowball top mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes rubber top mount or no top mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCamber adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front camber adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-way damping adjustment through a single adjuster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46mm piston in a 53mm monotube damper body for consistent damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRide height set at the bottom mount, so full damper travel is kept at any height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable lower spring platform for corner weighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearing mounted upper front spring platform (where fitted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust boots to protect the damper seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack chromed damper bodies with anodised aluminium parts for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x front coilovers with springs (includes pillowball top mount)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x rear dampers and springs (includes rubber top mount or no top mount)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf MK8 20+ (FWD 54.5mm Inc GTI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e other Volkswagen Golf MK8 variants with a different drive layout, strut diameter or rear suspension type.
