Lowering your VW Tiguan can dramatically improve its appearance and handling. Dynamic+ Lowering Springs, engineered by 034Motorsport, offer a perfect solution for Tiguan owners seeking an aggressive stance without sacrificing ride quality. This article explores the features, benefits, and technical details of these lowering springs designed specifically for the Mk2 VW Tiguan.
Enhancing Your VW Tiguan with Lowering Springs
034Motorsport’s Dynamic+ Lowering Springs are meticulously crafted to provide a lowered stance, improved handling, and maintained comfort for your VW Tiguan. Unlike simply shortening the spring, these springs utilize a unique dual-rate design and precise coil spacing to achieve the desired ride height. Extensive testing, both on the street and track, ensures optimal performance and compatibility with the factory dampers.
The Science Behind Lowering Springs
The secret to achieving a lowered ride height lies in the design of the spring itself. While the overall length might be similar to the OEM spring, the spacing between the coils is strategically altered. This “stacking” of coils under the vehicle’s weight results in the lowered stance. The specific spring rates and dual-rate design are crucial for maintaining ride quality and preventing excessive noise during compression and decompression. This careful engineering ensures a balance between performance and comfort.
Addressing Coil Stacking Noise
Coil stacking, while effective for lowering, can sometimes produce noise under heavy compression. 034Motorsport addresses this potential issue by including Dynamic+ Coil Spring Sleeves with their lowering spring kit. These sleeves are pre-installed in the necessary locations to dampen any noise between the coils, ensuring a quiet and refined ride. Not all applications require these sleeves, but 034Motorsport provides them proactively for those that do.
