Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers - VW Golf GTI (Mk7/Mk7.5/Mk8) / Audi A3 (8V) - FWD
Öhlins brings over 40 years of motorsport engineering to the street with the Road & Track series, built around its proprietary DFV (Dual Flow Valve) damping technology. Designed for the Volkswagen Golf GTI and related FWD platforms, this kit (SKU VWS MU21S1) delivers genuine race car response while keeping the ride surprisingly liveable for daily use.
This listing covers Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 (5G), Mk7.5 (5G) and Mk8 (CD), along with Golf TSI/TDI variants on the same chassis codes, Audi A3 (8V), Audi TT (8S) and Škoda Octavia (NE) — all FWD hatch models fitted with the 55mm front McPherson strut.
Important: FWD models only — for AWD/Quattro/4Motion variants see part VWS MU21S2. Vehicles fitted with OE DDC electronic damper control also require a separate Öhlins cancellation kit (part 35020-15).
