Racingline Sport Lowering Springs Up! GTI (2017+)

Racingline Sport Lowering Springs – VW Up! GTI (2017+) – VWR31UPGT

Transform the stance and handling of your VW Up! GTI with the Racingline Sport Lowering Springs. As an authorised UK dealer for Racingline Performance, we recommend this upgrade as one of the most cost-effective ways to sharpen your car’s driving dynamics and visual appeal, without the expense or complexity of a full coilover system.

The standard springs fitted to the Up! GTI leave the car sitting noticeably high in the arches and allow more body roll than the chassis really deserves. Swapping them for the Racingline Sport Springs lowers the centre of gravity, tightens up the handling, and gives the car the planted look it should have had from the factory.

What These Springs Do for Your Up! GTI

Racingline have designed these progressive-rate springs to strike a sensible balance between sporty handling and everyday comfort. A progressive spring is softer at the start of its travel and stiffens as it compresses further, meaning the ride remains civilised in normal driving but firms up when you push harder.

• Lowering: Approximately 25mm at the front and 20mm at the rear
• Reduced body roll: The car stays flatter through corners, improving stability and driver confidence
• Sharper steering feel: A lower centre of gravity gives a more direct, connected response
• Improved looks: Closes the gap between tyre and arch for a properly sorted stance
• Works with standard dampers: No other suspension changes required

Engineered for Comfort as Well as Performance

The clever part is the progressive-rate design. In the middle of the spring’s travel the rate is close to standard, so day-to-day driving remains comfortable and composed. As loads increase, such as during hard cornering or heavy braking, the springs stiffen to control body movement and keep the chassis planted. The result is a car that feels more focused without becoming tiring to live with.

Racingline have developed these springs to work in harmony with the factory dampers, so there is no need to replace them at the same time. They are manufactured to OE standards by one of Europe’s leading spring producers, ensuring consistent quality and long-term reliability.

Fitment

These springs are designed specifically for the VW Up! GTI (2017 onwards). Please use the vehicle lookup tool or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your car before ordering.

Note: As with any suspension change, a four-wheel alignment is recommended after fitting to ensure the geometry is set correctly and to protect tyre wear.

A simple, well-engineered upgrade that delivers a noticeable improvement in both how your Up! GTI drives and how it looks, supplied by an authorised Racingline Performance UK dealer.
