While we have APR looking into a few details prior to software upgrades, we are wasting no time with the Achtuning VW Golf R and getting right down to business with the suspension! Our Achtuning VW (Mk5) Jetta 2.5L had up until now been running the H&R Premium coil-over kit taken from the Achtuning A3, which has been down for the count while it awaits an APR Stage 4 motor. We’re then going to throw the stock Golf R suspension on the Jetta for now.

H&R also sent us an RSS Club Sport coil-over kit to put on the A3 but more about that later… It’s Golf R time!  The H&R Premium coil-over kit is now installed on the Achtuning Golf R.  The Achtuning “Signature” ride height is a mild drop leaving roughly a finger-to-two-finger gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. These are just after installation so we anticipate a small amount of spring settling to occur.

And if any of you Mk5 Jetta guys are wondering where you’d sit after installing Golf R suspension, look here:

When Peter saw a certain local bagged Audi A6 he knew exactly what he wanted and what direction he was going to go to get there. But he didn’t necessarily want to drop the coin on a button-pressing, height-adjustable air-ride kit, either. Instead, the call came to us which resulted in the purchase of H&R’s Street Performance Coil-Over kit for the C6 A6.

End result…

Hey Mike, time for new wheels.

After Tyler picked up some H&R Race Springs for his Mk5 Rabbit, he came back post-install so he could show off the new look. Of course it gives us a chance to update our gallery as well…

The new stance is “just right” for Tyler as the H&R Race springs bring the car down 2″ up front and 1¾” out back. He reports the ride is still nice and “OEM soft” yet allows him to take corners with a bit more confidence while the Falken FK452s offer more grip. And of course it brings the tree-line high suspension back to VW-enthusiast standards.
