MTSGWVW50 coilover set for VW Golf VII with torsion beam on the rear axle

The VW group likes to diversify its models. Advertising brochures delight with the multitude of engine versions. However, the differences often lie in the components that are invisible at first glance.

Multi-link vs beam

Naturally, the mechanical difference that interests us the most is the one concerning the suspension. On the front axle we meet a solution known from the previous two generations of the Golf – different diameters of the shock absorber housing. We stayed here with the sleeve concept that allows the installation of our threaded strut in both types of suspensions.

Our Golf VII suspension fits the car in both front strut diameter options.

The change from the Golf V and VI is the variety on the rear axle. VW Golf VII, Seat Leon 5F and derivatives were offered with a multi-link rear suspension or in the form of a torsion beam. The MTSGWVW52 / MTSGWVW53 sets described in the previous post are a solution already known from our offer for cars with a multi-link. A novelty is the MTSGWVW50 set, which will meet the needs of the users of cars with a beam.

The difference, of course, is in the components for the rear axle. A completely new rear shock absorber has been developed for these cars. It is also worth noting that now also the rear shock absorbers are equipped with our dedicated dust covers and bump stops made of PUR foam.

We offer bump stops and dust covers also to the rear shocks.

The springs are responsible for the lowering, in the same form as we presented in the sets for cars with a multi-link. Here, too, we have adopted a solution known from motorsport with an ERS spring. The springs offered by Eibach contribute to even greater precision of steering, also in the case of cars with a rather “clunky” solution in the form of a rear axle torsion beam.

We offer ERS springs also for the cars with torsion beam.

In addition to the MTSGWVW50 set, the offer also includes a second, MTSGWVW51, of course adapted to cars with higher front axle load. Together, they fill an important gap in the demand for coilover suspensions for the seventh generation of the king of compact class.
