Product Information
ST XA coilovers give the MK8 GTI 20 to 45 mm of height adjustable lowering front and rear plus 16 clicks of rebound damping adjustment, shipped preset to ST's recommended settings with a damper setup manual. Struts are zinc galvanized steel for corrosion protection, and the spring perch is a friction optimized polyamide composite with a stainless steel insert on a trapezoidal thread for easy height changes. Each damper is hand built and dyno tested by KW in Fichtenberg, Germany, with a hardened chrome piston rod protected by an integrated dust boot and elastomer bump stop. Cars with DCC adaptive dampers need the separate ST cancellation kit.
