The TC Sport line provides Bilstein quality at a lower price. Make your Jetta/Golf/New Beetle handle the way that VW intended it to, before they softened the suspension to suit what they think are "American tastes."
The TC sport suspension is approximately 30-40% stiffer than stock, and is dimensionally the same, so it will not lower the car (it may be a little higher initially but will settle in). These particular shocks are designed for use with the factory sport suspension, but they also work well with Neuspeed Sofsport springs, Eibach ProKit, and other mild spring upgrades.
This set of TC sports were designed for the factory sport suspension or VR6 suspension with higher rate springs. Some have installed these sport struts with factory normal springs with good results as well.
Set includes 4 struts/shocks.
We strongly recommend replacing all strut and shock mounts when installing a new suspension. Worn front strut mounts can negatively affect alignment, steering handling as well degrade ride quality. Worn rear mounts can cause knocking/rattling noises as the shock is no longer held securely in a worn mount. Available as an option below.
Consider also replacing your mounting hardware as recommended by the factory manual.
Does not include springs.
