YSR Advanced Pro Plus Gravel Rally 3-Way Coilovers Volkswagen Golf MK6 08-11 FWD

YSR Advanced Pro Plus Gravel Rally 3-Way Coilovers for Volkswagen Golf MK6 (2008-2011) – 3-Way Adjustable Inverted Rally Coilovers with Remote Reservoirs

Yellow Speed Racing Advanced Pro Plus Gravel Rally 3-Way coilovers for the Volkswagen Golf MK6 (2008-2011). They are built for gravel stage rally, rallycross and other rough-surface competition. This listing is for the FWD version.

The Advanced Pro Plus uses inverted monotube front struts for MacPherson strut cars, with low-speed compression, high-speed compression and rebound each adjusted independently and full-length ride height adjustment. Remote external reservoirs add oil capacity for consistent damping through long, hard sessions, and are connected by braided hoses through the upper mounts so they can be mounted where they suit the car.

The Gravel Rally spec uses softer springs, more wheel travel and rally-specific valving to cope with rocks, ruts and jumps. Unlike the other versions it raises the car, by approx. 1.5in (approx. 38mm) or more above standard depending on the model. The high-speed compression adjuster deals with sharp impacts, while low-speed compression controls squat, dive and roll.

Installation

The coilovers replace the standard dampers and springs. Set the ride height and spring preload, let the suspension settle, then recheck the height and have a four-wheel alignment carried out. We recommend professional fitting.

Please note: Pillow ball upper mounts make a small amount of noise. This is normal and does not affect performance or safety. Yellow Speed Racing also offer hardened rubber upper mounts (R/U) for quieter running. Gravel Rally kits raise the ride height and are designed for off-road competition, so they can feel stiff and bouncy on the road.

Can I use these on the road?

They are designed for off-road competition and raise the car, so they can feel stiff and bouncy on the road.

What is the difference between Circuit Race, Tarmac Rally and Gravel Rally?

Circuit Race is lowered with stiffer valving for track use. Tarmac Rally is set up for sealed-surface rally stages. Gravel Rally raises the car and uses softer springs, more travel and rally valving for loose surfaces.

How is the damping adjusted?

Low-speed compression, high-speed compression and rebound each have their own adjuster.

Where does the reservoir go?

The remote reservoir connects through the upper mount with a braided hose, so it can be mounted in a suitable place such as the engine bay or boot. The installer is responsible for choosing a safe mounting position.

Will the pillow ball mounts be noisy?

They make a small amount of noise, which is normal. Hardened rubber upper mounts (R/U) are available for quieter running.

Do I need a wheel alignment after fitting?

Yes. Changing the ride height alters the suspension geometry, so a four-wheel alignment should be carried out once the car has settled.

What warranty is included?

Yellow Speed Racing cover Advanced Pro Plus coilovers with a 3 month limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
