KW Coilover Kit V3 - Volkswagen Golf IV R32 1J (2002-2004) R32 and 4Motion
The MK4 R32 proved that a Golf could be a serious performance machine. The 3.2 VR6 and Haldex all-wheel drive made it one of the most complete hot hatches of its era, and the chassis had real handling DNA underneath the practical body. Two decades later, the R32 is still one of the best platforms to build on.
The KW V3 for the MK4 R32 and 4Motion gives you the damper control this chassis was never given from the factory. Separate compression and rebound dials mean you can optimize for the VR6's power delivery and the Haldex AWD system's handling balance independently. Lower the car to where it should be, dial in the damping to match, and you have a Golf that drives like the enthusiast special it always was.
