Proper Professional Quality Suspension for your AWD Hot Hatchback
Many people who purchase the Golf R use it for more than just getting groceries… This vehicle has been praised for both its practicality and track-ability, which is why it has such a large following. Numerous magazines and automotive shows have taken this vehicle to the limits and have proven its ability to hang with more expensive competitors. It is not perfect, but there are aftermarket solutions to fix many of the small issues it has.
Suspension from the factory is quite good, but there are issues when setting the vehicle up for the street / track. To Remedy this situation AST Suspension has released their new 5000 series line of coilovers. The 5100 line offers basic height adjustments, dampening adjustments and upgraded springs. The 5200 line adds to that and offers 2-way adjustable external reservoirs. The 5300 has low and high speed compression adjustments for the ultimate performance and adjust-ability. More information on these specific components can be found in the links below!

“The Golf R is the top of the line model for Volkswagen’s famous Golf moniker and one of the quickest VW vehicles to be released in North America. The newest Mark VII rendition is no exception to the “hot hatch” name with almost 300hp and the 4motion AWD system to match. Paired with the Golf R’s AWD system our inverted 5000-series coil over systems can increase grip and performance in various conditions and differing road surfaces.
Our design incorporates a long stroke for added comfort on the AWD platform. The low-profile top mounts can dial in the camber for any road surface you encounter and our 11-click adjustment can dial in the ride for soft and supple street driving or a stiff motorsport feel. Our inverted technology produces an extremely strong damper, providing better suspension geometry under heavy lateral and braking loads in either a spirited road or track environment. Using a 45mm inverted piston design increases damper strength in all directions, optimizing cornering and braking forces under high-stress conditions. Proven during countless competitions around the world, our design provides an ultra-strong strut with low frictional resistance.”
