Volkswagen Golf Suspension Systems

Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a Volkswagon Golf to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose - contributing to the Golf's handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations. These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage from damage and wear. The design of front and rear suspension of a car may be different.

Apart from your Golf's tires and seats, the suspension is the prime mechanism that separates your body from the road. It also prevents your car from shaking itself to pieces. No matter how smooth you think the road is, it's a bad, bad place to propel over a ton of metal at high speed. So we rely upon suspension.

In it's most basic form, your Golf suspension consists of two basic components: Springs & Shock absorbers

A complete VW Golf suspension system is shocks and springs and come from great manufacturers. For instance, the Volkswagen H&R cup suspension system is one of the best performing strut and spring combos on the market. For those who need another step up in performance, we also have coilovers. New VW Golf performance coilover kits are designed to give you the best adjustable sport suspension for your Golf on the planet.

H&R Cup Kit Suspension

To work at its best, a Golf suspension system has to have its shock absorbers precisely matched to its springs. In addition, the shocks must be the best available, custom designed from the ground up and carefully tuned by race-proven experts. H&R has numerous patents on their engineered shock technology that are exclusive to H&R. While some companies are just realizing the importance of matched performance shocks, H&R has been including tuned shocks with their springs from the very beginning. This is where H&R suspension kits come into the picture. These complete units use the latest in dynamic shock technology and they are hand-made in Germany to meet rigid ISO9001 quality specs.
