Racingline lowering springs for Volkswagen Up! GTI (2017+)

Racingline lowering springs – Volkswagen Up! GTI (2017+) – VWR31UPGT

Racingline lowering springs improve the handling and appearance of your Volkswagen Up! GTI.

The factory springs on the Up! GTI leave the vehicle sitting quite high in the wheel arches and allow more body roll than the chassis itself could handle. Replacing them with Racingline springs lowers the centre of gravity, improves handling and gives the vehicle a firmer, sportier appearance.

What you gain with Up! GTI lowering springs

Racingline has developed progressive springs that provide a sensible balance between sporty handling and comfort during everyday driving. A progressive spring is softer at the beginning of its travel and becomes firmer as compression increases. This keeps the ride comfortable during normal use, while the springs provide more support during more dynamic driving.

• Lowering: approximately 25 mm at the front and 20 mm at the rear
• Less body roll: the vehicle remains more level in corners, improving stability and driver confidence
• More precise steering feel: the lower centre of gravity provides a more direct and connected response
• Improved appearance: a smaller gap between the tyre and wheel arch for a tidier stance
• Compatibility with standard dampers: no other suspension changes are required

Developed with a focus on comfort and performance

The key feature is the progressive spring design. In the middle of the travel, the spring rate is similar to standard, keeping everyday driving comfortable and composed. When loads increase, such as during fast cornering or heavy braking, the springs stiffen, limit body movement and keep the chassis stable. The result is a more focused vehicle that remains enjoyable for everyday use.

Racingline springs are developed to work with factory dampers, so they do not need to be replaced during installation. They are manufactured to OE standards by one of Europe’s leading spring manufacturers, ensuring consistent quality and long-term reliability.

Compatibility

The springs are intended exclusively for the Volkswagen Up! GTI (2017+). After installation, four-wheel alignment is recommended to ensure correct suspension geometry and even tyre wear.
