BILSTEIN Coilover Options for VW Golf IV

BILSTEIN, the respected German manufacturer of dampers and suspension systems has released details of two beautifully engineered enhancement packages for the VW Group’s perennial Mark IV Golf in all of its guises. Two variants of kit cover all engine combinations, from the humble 1.0GX through to the R32 4 Motion.

The two new kits offer OEM levels of fit, finish and ride quality, coupled with significant improvements in handling. Both have been designed and produced entirely in-house in BILSTEIN’s cutting-edge German production facilities.

Thanks to precision-machined threaded steel bodies, the BILSTEIN kits offer 20mm of ride height adjustment from a significantly lower starting point, which equates to a drop of between -30mm and -50mm. This is regarded by most engineers to be the most that it is possible to lower a vehicle before handling becomes adversely affect and safety is compromised.

The B14 kit comes with a pre-set damping rate, allowing the owner to fine-tune the ride height and stance to suit their own needs, whilst the B16 kit represents the pinnacle of suspension performance. Each damper unit has nine steps of adjustment, with bump and rebound being changed together in a carefully pre-set ratio to ensure that the car retains impeccable manners. With a damping range that offers either limo smoothness, track control or indeed, anything in-between, the B16 kit truly allows you to have two cars in one.

As with all BILSTEIN performance products, both of these kits have been extensively proven. Not only in BILSTEIN’s extensive laboratory set-up, but more importantly, at the Papenburg test facility, where BILSTEIN have their unparalleled research centre. Here, both kits were ‘shaken down’ by real, live test drivers, to ensure that these upgrades don’t just work well in a computer simulation, but can offer ride quality and peerless handling whether fully loaded or on the poorest of surfaces.

As you might expect from the World’s leading original equipment manufacturer, both kits carry full TUV approval and 12 months warranty.
