Sportwagen Rear Towing Spring (A5)
If using these often without carrying a load, we recommend Tiguan rear shocks to compensate for the extra height.
I was able to install these in my back yard and maybe took 2 hours total. This included me adding Goodyear air bags inside of the springs. The airbags took for ever to receive, but should help. The springs have lifted my car so I see about 2\" space between the top of the tire and fender well edge. The tires used to be hid inside the fender well or right at it. Rides nice and fixed my high shinning lights. They appear to be exactly where they should be shining. I would recommend these springs for any other Jetta Sporstwagen owner with high beams shinning in the trees.
I bought these beefier springs after breaking one while towing a small trailer with a single yard of mulch on it. I paid my usual mechanic to install them. At first the ride height looked unusually high and the ride was stiff and bouncy. Three or four weeks later the rear end of my 2014 VW Sportwagen settled and the ride smoothed out. I am happy with the results.
These are fantastic! Brought the rear of my Sportwagen SE (2.5l gasoline) up close to 2 inches (after settling a bit) and my hitch no longer scrapes in low spots and my safety chains never bounce off the road any more. Car handles better than with stock springs both with and without a load, and doesn\'t drive harsh at all.
Installed them on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen 2.5. Sits about 1.5” higher, but the ride quality wasn’t really changed. Haven’t towed with them yet, but with a load of stuff in the back, the squat was minimal. Install was easy, in my driveway with a jack and 2 jack stands.
Worked great. 17mm and 18mm sockets,18mm wrench, 2 Jack stands and floor jack. It only took 1 hour and I now I do not drag the ground with the trailer hitch. Gained about 2 inches in rear height. Rides great!. Very happy with the improvement.
Came in the mail quickly. Product was as described. Easy to install. Very happy with the outcome. No more scrapping the hitch on the ground with our fully loaded sportwagen. No more saggy rear when towing my dirt bike.
