This version is listed for FWD models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow this kit is set up for the 2003-2008 Volkswagen Golf MK5\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front uses true coilovers, while the rear stays divorced (separate spring and shock), matching how the car is built from the factory. Damper bodies are 52mm front and 46mm rear. It comes with 8 kg\/mm (about 448 lb\/in) springs up front and 5 kg\/mm (about 280 lb\/in) at the rear. Damping is 1-way: a single knob with 32 settings changes rebound and compression together, which keeps tuning quick. The front top mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings, with aluminum camber plates with pillowball bushings available as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonotube damper design for better heat control and fewer leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 damping settings on a single knob that sets rebound and compression together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable ride height, roughly 1 to 2.5 inches below factory per SF Racing, while keeping suspension travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate lower-mount (length) adjustment, so height changes don't preload the spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT6-6061 aluminum hardware (top mounts, perches and collars), anodized against corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated shock bodies for rust protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-wound SAE9254 spring steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOK seals and Italian IP damping oil (20W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in dust boots and bump stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on install with no modifications, unless the notes below say otherwise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest suited to cars that do track days, autocross or spirited back-road driving, and owners who accept a firmer ride for more control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSF-VW01-05-TR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2003-2008 Volkswagen Golf MK5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFWD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamper model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrack Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-Way: Rebound and Compression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamper size (front \/ rear)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52mm diameter \/ 46mm diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpring rate (front \/ rear)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 kg\/mm \/ 5 kg\/mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign (front \/ rear)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrue Coilover \/ Divorced (Separate shock and spring)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop mounts (front)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard: Aluminum with Rubber Bushings \/ Optional: Aluminum Camber Plates with Pillowball Bushings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop mounts (rear)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot Applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SPRINGRATES®","offers":[{"title":"49.5mm","offer_id":67656381956397,"sku":"SF-VW01-05-TR","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"54.5mm","offer_id":67656381989165,"sku":"SF-VW01-05-TR","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8295\/1469\/files\/sf-racing-track-coilovers-for-2003-2008-volkswagen-golf-gti-mk5-fwd-1k-1194287485.jpg?v=1792170841","url":"https:\/\/lowerhq.com\/products\/sf-racing-track-coilovers-for-2003-2008-volkswagen-golf-mk5-fwd-1k","provider":"LowerHQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
