With suspension solutions from KW, the Golf 8 GTI and the Golf 8 GTI Clubsport can be continuously lowered.

For the Golf 8 GTI (Clubsport), we even offer KW Clubsport suspensions from our Track Performance product line.
Discover the difference that MK8 GTI coilovers by KW can make
The factory suspension
VW models are developed with highly innovative driving dynamics. A new VW Golf 8 GTI or a GTI Clubsport has precise and dynamic driving characteristics with modern technology ex works. Selected models come with VW's own DCC adaptive chassis control. This allows a choice between comfortable and sporty driving. Regardless of this, traction can quickly be lost if the accelerator pedal is pressed too hard.
Our KW product
The KW V1 offers a fixed damper characteristic curve. This Golf GTI suspension is tuned for performance and driving pleasure from the moment of delivery. Compared to the standard suspension, it ensures direct handling and a fuller driving experience. The driving comfort in daily use is not neglected. The lowering can be adjusted individually and continuously at any time.

Customised lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customised to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.

Can I lower the VW Golf 8 GTI?
The range of lowering depends on which product the driver chooses. If it is a Golf GTI suspension from our Street Performance line, the car allows a lowering of 20 to 45 millimeters per axle. The same applies to the KW DDC. Those who prefer a KW V3 Clubsport or V4 Clubsport in their Golf 8 GTI can rely on a lowering range of 25 to 40 millimeters.
Can I retrofit DCC in the Golf 8?
Yes, you can upgrade the Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) in your GTI with our KW DDC Plug & Play system. The KW adaptive dampers are controlled via the VW onboard electronics. We recommend that our products are always installed by certified KW automotive dealers.
