Audi R8 Gen 2 Rear Wheel Series Progressive Rate Lowering Springs
Description
Set of 4 VelocityAP lowering springs for Gen 2 Audi R8 RWS, to reduce the ride height on your car by 7/8", or 22mm. The limited edition RWS R8 does NOT use the same springs as the AWD cars, or the LP580, but has its own unique setup. We have developed these springs especially for the RWS Cars.
VelocityAP springs use exclusively high quality, high stress X5K Spring Steel.
Although considerably more expensive than regular steel, this new generation steel allows us to further improve upon the original Audi R8 spring design by reducing the amount
of steel required in a spring. VelocityAP springs are therefore substantially lighter (by approximately
30%) and reduce the solid height therefore increasing travel. X5K Spring Steel is used in almost all top levels of Motorsport, giving a hugely successful
endorsement of its characteristics & proven durability.
In addition to the superior materials, these springs also feature a unique manufacturing process that sets them aside from most OEM & Aftermarket applications - a Tapered Wire Progressive Rate design. The Ultimate in Design. The principle is simple: By using a tapered rather than constant diameter spring wire, our springs achieve a truly progressive spring rate over the length of their compression & travel. The spring rate increases when you need it (cornering) and decreases when you don't - yielding a smooth and supple ride over bumpy surfaces. The best of both worlds!
By using this unique manufacturing method, we can achieve a substantial increase in spring rate with huge handling benefits with no loss of ride comfort. As the spring de-rates, the shock absorber no longer struggles for rebound control and gives improved vehicle stability.
