Racingline Sport Lowering Springs – VW Golf Mk7 R (Hatch)
Give your VW Golf Mk7 R the stance and handling it always deserved with the Racingline Sport Lowering Springs (VWR31G70R). A straightforward, effective upgrade that improves both the look and the dynamics of your car, without the cost or complexity of a full coilover setup.
From the factory, the Golf R sits higher than many owners would like, with noticeable wheelarch gaps and more body roll than the chassis really needs. Swapping the standard springs for Racingline’s progressive-rate items lowers the centre of gravity, tightens up the handling, and gives the car a far more purposeful look.
What These Springs Actually Do
These are progressive-rate springs, meaning the spring rate changes through the travel. In normal driving the rate stays close to standard, keeping the ride composed and comfortable. Push harder, brake heavily, or load the car up in a corner, and the springs stiffen towards the end of their travel to control body movement and keep the car planted.
- Lowering: approximately 25mm front and 20mm rear
- Reduced body roll for sharper, more confident cornering
- Improved steering feel with a more direct connection to the road
- Better stance by closing up the factory wheelarch gaps
- Progressive spring rates to retain everyday ride comfort
Designed to Work With Your Standard Dampers
One of the key advantages of the Racingline Sport Springs is that they are engineered specifically to work with the factory dampers, including cars fitted with VW’s DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) adaptive dampers. DCC is the system that lets you switch between Comfort, Normal and Sport modes from the driver’s seat. With these springs fitted, all of that functionality is retained, no recoding or additional parts required.

Racingline springs are manufactured by a leading European OE spring supplier, the same calibre of producer used by major car makers. That means consistent spring rates, reliable ride heights, and a finish that holds up against British weather and road salt over the long term.
