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

Ride height is adjusted using the composite spring perches on the strut body. Rebound damping is adjusted via a knob on the top of the damper, offering 16 distinct clicks. A detailed setup manual is included to guide you through the process.

What is the benefit of the composite spring perch with a stainless steel insert?

The polyamide composite material prevents corrosion between the spring perch and the strut body, ensuring smooth height adjustments over time. The stainless steel insert adds strength and confidence to the perch.

Are these coilovers made in Germany?

Yes, these ST XA coilovers are built by hand by experts at KW in Fichtenberg, Germany. Each damper is tested on a shock dyno before it is boxed.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to dial in the stance and handling of your 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R, these ST XA coilovers are a solid option. They allow for significant adjustment in both ride height and damping, giving you the control to match your car's feel to your driving style, whether you prioritize a lower look, sharper handling, or a comfortable ride. This kit is built by KW in Germany, a well-known name in performance suspension.

The key feature here is the 16-click adjustable rebound damping. With a simple turn of a knob, you can make the suspension firmer for more responsive handling during spirited driving or softer for a more comfortable experience on longer trips. The spring perches are made from a durable, friction-optimized polyamide composite with a stainless steel insert. This design helps prevent corrosion between the perch and the strut body, ensuring that you can adjust your ride height smoothly for years to come. The galvanized zinc-coated steel struts offer good protection against rust and corrosion, and a dust protection system is included to keep dirt and debris away from the piston rod and seals.

These coilovers come preset to factory-recommended damping settings, which are tested on KW's shock dynos before shipping. A detailed manual is included to help you understand and adjust the damping settings. You'll also find elastomer bump stops with integrated dust protection, which help maintain ride quality while limiting suspension travel and keeping contaminants out.
