Product Description

The H&R 54740 Sport Lowering Springs are designed for classic Volkswagen MK1 models - including 1980-1984 Rabbit and Jetta variants, and 1980-1981 Scirocco - all with front-wheel drive. These Sport Series springs lower the vehicle's ride height approximately 1.25" at both the front and rear, reducing the center of gravity for improved handling, reduced body roll and a more aggressive stance. The progressive rate design helps deliver a blend of sportier performance and daily ride comfort.

Manufactured in Germany to ISO 9001 and TUV certification standards from high-strength 54SiCr6 spring steel, these springs are precision wound to fit directly in place of the factory units without modification. The lowered stance enhances cornering response and visual appeal. A wheel alignment after installation is recommended to ensure optimal suspension geometry and tire wear.

Fitment is confirmed for classic Volkswagen MK1 Rabbit and Jetta models from 1980 through 1984 and Scirocco models from 1980 through 1981. Coverage beyond these years and other platforms is unconfirmed at this time. This spring kit is ideal for enthusiasts restoring or upgrading vintage VW cars who want better handling and stance with reliable ride quality.
