Show original supplier description
The H&R Lowering Springs, part number 28988-1, are designed to enhance the performance and aesthetics of the VW Golf Mk6 GTI and GTD models from 2009 to 2013. These springs provide a discreet lowering of approximately 25-30mm at the front and rear, resulting in a sportier stance, a lower center of gravity, and improved cornering stability. Constructed from hardened and tempered spring steel in Germany, these springs feature a robust surface protection through zinc phosphating and powder coating, typically in H&R's signature blue. They are designed as a direct fit, requiring no modifications for installation. The springs are also noted to be compatible with models including the Front Lifter system and can work with vehicles equipped with electronically controlled shock absorbers or active suspensions. Specific fitment includes various VW Golf VI (5K1) models such as the 2.0 GTi (200hp, 235hp, 210hp), 2.0 TDI (170hp), and convertible variants like the 2.0 GTI, 2.0 R, and 2.0 TSI, covering model years from 2009 up to 2016 for the convertible versions. The product comes with ABE (General Operating Permit) or part approval, ensuring compliance and safety standards are met.
