Catégorie: Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Suspension Parts

Suspension parts for the seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf — chassis codes 5G1, BQ1, BE1, BE2, BA5, BV5 and 517, built 2013 to 2019. Covers the hatch, the Variant estate and the van derivatives; the Golf Sportsvan (AM1/AN1) is a different platform and is listed separately.

How to choose

The Bilstein B4 restores factory ride quality on a worn Mk7 and is the right choice at standard ride height. B6 keeps the standard springs but firms up damping for sharper turn-in. B12 pairs dampers with matched lowering springs as one tuned kit; B14 adds height adjustment. Tein coilovers suit drivers who want ride height and damping adjustable separately.

Mk7 spans a mid-life facelift in 2017 — check your build month against the listing, and confirm whether your car has the multi-link or torsion-beam rear axle, as the rear dampers differ.
