The Bilstein B16 DampTronic is a complete front and rear coilover kit for the MK7 Volkswagen GTI and Golf R that lets you dial in a lower ride height while retaining the factory electronic damping (DCC). The threaded, zinc-coated bodies adjust ride height roughly 30-50mm, and the 46mm monotube gas dampers plug into the OE electronic system so all factory damping modes and controls keep working. Built in Germany and developed on the Nurburgring.
