How do I adjust the ride height and damping on these coilovers?

Ride height is adjusted using the composite spring perches and the unique trapezoidal thread pitch on the strut body. Damping is adjusted via a simple knob on the top of the damper, offering 16 distinct clicks of rebound adjustment.

What is the benefit of the composite spring perch?

The polyamide composite material is friction-optimized and prevents oxidation between the strut and perch, ensuring that height adjustability remains easy over time. The embedded stainless steel insert provides necessary strength.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes front and rear coilovers with adjustable spring perches, bump stops with integrated dust protection, and a detailed damper setup manual. Hardware for installation is typically included, but always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for a complete list.

Product Details

If you're looking to fine-tune both the stance and the driving dynamics of your 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, the ST XA Coilover Kit is a solid option. This kit lets you adjust not only the ride height across a wide range but also the damper settings, giving you control over how your car handles. You can dial in a sportier feel for spirited driving or a more comfortable ride for daily commutes, all without sacrificing control.

The spring perches are made from a durable, friction-optimized polyamide composite with a stainless steel insert. This combination helps prevent corrosion between the strut and perch, ensuring that you can adjust the ride height for years to come, while the stainless steel insert adds strength. ST Suspensions builds these coilovers by hand at KW in Germany, and each damper is tested on a shock dyno before it ships out to ensure it meets factory specifications. The kit offers 16 distinct clicks of rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to precisely tune your car's driving behavior. The galvanized zinc-coated steel struts are built to resist corrosion, and a dust protection system is included to keep dirt and water away from the hardened chrome piston rod and internal components.

This kit comes preset to factory-recommended damper settings, and a detailed manual is included to help you reset them if needed. You'll have the ability to set your car's ride height and damping to match your personal preference, whether that's for comfort, sportiness, or a balance of both.
