Vogtland VW group golf mk 7 lowering springs

As you’d expect from a 111-year-old company, Vogtland know all about working steel into high quality springs. They use specially hardened Chrome-Silicon and Chrome-Silicon-Vanadium alloys. These stay strong and sag resistant for much longer. They’re also powder coated for corrosion resistance which is essential when you consider the daily diet of road salt your springs eat in the winter. As with all performance lowering springs, fitting a set to your car improves handling through two main mechanisms. Firstly, by lowering your car, you’re lowering its Centre-Of-Gravity. This has a very direct effect on how much it leans over during cornering. The less it leans over, the less it leans off the inside wheels. More weight on all four wheels means more grip. Secondly, lowering springs also tend to be firmer than the originals, more aggressively tuned to keep the car’s tyres in contact with the tarmac. Any good lowering spring will help the car maintain traction as the car travels over the road surface as well. If you’re looking for further information, check out our Performance Guide to Lowering Springs. While all suspension is a bit of a compromise, and lowering your vehicle means making its suspension a bit firmer, the feedback we’ve been getting on Vogtland is that their spring kits manage to pull off the tricky balancing act of being both sporty and comfortable. The improved handling is not coming at the expense of ride quality and these are quite well tuned for British roads, bumps, ruts, and broken tarmac included. Vogtland’s lowering springs all come with TUV certification. TUV is a very strict set of safety standards. This is good if and it means you know you’re fitting a high-quality product to your car.
