Vehicle Fitment

Fitment Notes

• Does not fit 2001-2005 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon 2.0L - the 2.0L Wagon uses a separate H&R kit (31017T-3)
• Does not fit Jetta Sedan or Golf models - wagon-specific application only
• When lowering more than 1.4 inches and the vehicle is equipped with a 42mm or larger driveshaft, an H&R Audi/Volkswagen front sway bar is required to ensure adequate driveshaft clearance
• Lowering height may vary slightly on vehicles equipped with optional factory sport suspension or differing engine configurations
• Professional installation and a four-wheel alignment are required after installation

Features

• Lowers the vehicle approximately 1.5 inches front and 1.4 inches rear for a clean, level, performance stance
• Springs and shocks are co-engineered as a system - not a generic matched set - delivering optimized damping and spring rate harmony from day one
• Custom-valved performance sport shocks are shortened to work precisely with the included lowering springs for correct suspension travel and geometry
• Progressive spring rate design provides comfortable compliance over small bumps while firming up under hard cornering and braking loads
• Reduces body roll and lowers the center of gravity for noticeably improved handling and cornering response
• Eliminates fender well gap for a flush, aggressive wheel-to-fender stance without extreme lowering
• Springs crafted from 54SiCr6 high-tensile spring steel and shot-peened to extend service life by over 200%
• 100% engineered and manufactured at H&R's ISO 9001-certified facility in Lennestadt, Germany
• TUV-certified for road use - meets European safety and engineering standards

Product Description

The H&R 31017T-4 Touring Cup Kit is a complete, co-engineered spring and shock system designed specifically for the 2001-2005 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon MK4 in 1.8T, TDI, and VR6 configurations. Unlike generic "matched" spring and shock packages, the Touring Cup Kit is engineered from the ground up as a unified suspension solution - the progressive lowering springs and custom-valved, shortened sport shocks are developed together to deliver a perfectly calibrated balance of handling performance, ride comfort, and lowered stance. The result is approximately 1.5 inches of front drop and 1.4 inches of rear drop, bringing the Jetta Wagon to a level, flush stance without the harshness of overly aggressive track setups.

H&R's Touring Cup Kit product line was designed by popular demand for enthusiasts who want the performance and engineering integrity of H&R's Sport Cup Kit, but with a more moderate amount of lowering better suited to daily driving. The progressive spring rates ensure small road imperfections are absorbed smoothly, while the higher rate engages under hard cornering to significantly reduce body roll and improve driver confidence. The custom-valved shocks are built specifically for the spring rates in this kit - not adapted from a universal shock - meaning suspension travel, rebound, and compression damping are all tuned together for this exact application on the MK4 Jetta Wagon platform.

All components are manufactured at H&R's ISO 9001-certified production facility in Lennestadt, Germany, using 54SiCr6 spring steel that is shot-peened after forming for maximum fatigue resistance and long-term durability. This kit is ideal for Jetta Wagon owners who are ready to replace worn factory dampers and want to upgrade their suspension in a single, well-engineered step. Important: Vehicles equipped with a 42mm or larger driveshaft that will be lowered more than 1.4 inches require the addition of an H&R Audi/Volkswagen front sway bar to ensure adequate driveshaft clearance. A four-wheel alignment is required after installation.
