When it comes to sport dampers at an affordable price, the compromise between performance and comfort has been a persistent dilemma for keen drivers and enthusiasts. With the RacingLine Performance Sport Damper kit, which consists of two front and two rear Tri-Valve dampers, this dilemma becomes a thing of the past for Golf 5, 6, Scirocco and the other VWG cars on the A5-platform at an affordable price.
Extensive development from VWR's vast race set-up experience on the VWG A5 platform ensures superior road-holding and a positive transformation in handling characteristics, all achieved without compromising comfort; guaranteeing greater stability, control and therefore driving pleasure.
The VWR Sport Damper kit is supplied as 4 dampers without springs. Although the standard springs can be retained for this kit for those who want to retain standard ride height, it has been designed from the outset to work in harmony with VWR Sport Springs. In tandem, these upgrades provide the ultimate in handling and comfort. These two upgrades really do make the perfect combination for your car.
- Motorsport Quality:
Bringing together all of our motorsport suspension expertise gives a high quality, fast-road orientated damper kit employing sophisticated valving inside the dampers for optimum wheel-control.
- Perfectly Matched:
The shock absorbers have a precisely matched damping curve to the VWR Sport Spring rate or to the original factory springs.
- Tri-Valve Technology:
Ensures suitability of dampers for both standard and lowered cars, as well as sporty feel during high speed cornering on smooth surfaces and comfort on uneven surfaces.
- No Damper Fade:
The addition of Nitrogen gas into the system eliminates oil foaming when the oil is hot, the main cause of shock fade. Our superior Tri-Valve design controls and limits the heat build-up internally ensuring the oil lasts longer.
- Dual Tube Design:
Comfort guaranteed thanks to dual tube design and low pressure Nitrogen gas system.
- High Quality Oil:
Longevity far exceeds OEM spec and many rival aftermarket dampers of similar value due to the higher quality oil used in the VWR Sport Dampers.
PERFORMANCE /// DEVELOPMENT
- VWR dampers feature three hydraulic valves: one bump valve, one rebound valve and a main valve, with the movement of the damper shaft predominantly controlled by the valves in low and high speed shaft frequencies (smooth and rough road conditions).
- The bump valve is mainly responsible for the sporty, agile feel of the car on smoother surfaces, whilst the rebound valve maintains the comfort balance.
- Through extensive testing of damping rates, our engineers have established what we consider to be the ideal settings for enthusiastic driving.
- The VWR StreetSport kit is aimed at fast road use, yet has been developed carefully to ensure that the comfort is not sacrificed - in fact, it is the beautiful, taut ride quality that most customers are most impressed by when they try the StreetSport Kit.

- Unforgiving bumps in the road which cause other damper kits to react harshly are controlled by the main valve which overrides the bump and rebound valve. It smooths out the reaction of the damper shaft at high speeds to maintain comfort.
- This intelligent Tri-Valve technology is what sets our Sports Dampers apart from standard OEM dampers. It allows you to have the best of both worlds.
