Product Description

The H&R 29526-2 Sport Lowering Spring Set is engineered for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Golf and Jetta MK4 models equipped with VR6, 1.8T, or TDI engines. These springs lower the vehicle approximately 1.5" in the front and 1.4" in the rear, offering a more aggressive stance, reduced body roll, and improved handling--all while retaining decent comfort for everyday driving.

Built from high-strength 54SiCr6 spring steel and manufactured in Germany, this set offers durable performance. Progressive rate design helps smooth out smaller bumps while retaining firm support during spirited driving. Note: vehicles with larger than 42 mm drive shafts lowered beyond ~1.4" may require a compatible front sway bar to avoid driveshaft contact. Ideal for owners wanting a clean, reliable drop without sacrificing ride usability.
