ST XTA Coilover Suspension for VW Golf Mk7 AU 2WD with Independent Rear Suspension and 50 mm Front Clamp

Give your Mk7 Golf the stance, control and confidence it deserves with the ST XTA adjustable suspension system. Designed around KW technology and finished with aluminium uniball camber plates, this performance coilover package delivers precise geometry, ride height tuning and easy on-car rebound adjustment for fast-road and track-day use. Perfect for Mk7 AU hatchback models with independent rear suspension and 50 mm front knuckle clamp.

We run XTA on our own builds and have installed this kit for many customers. Feedback is consistently positive on UK roads. Expect tighter turn-in, flatter cornering, improved high-speed stability and a compliant ride that copes with B-roads and commutes.

Lowering range

Front: 25 to 55 mm
Rear: 20 to 45 mm

Why this upgrade works

• Ride height adjustability for the perfect drop and a balanced rake
• External rebound adjustment to fine tune comfort and body control
• Aluminium uniball top mounts for precise front camber changes and caster optimisation where possible
• Sharper steering response with reduced roll and understeer
• Twin-tube dampers with low-friction internals for consistent, repeatable adjustment
• Galvanised struts with additional coating for strong corrosion resistance
• High quality race spring setup with threaded perches, bump stops and dust boots

What you can tune

• Set the ride height front and rear within the tested range
• Dial in rebound damping via the piston rod for road, fast-road or track day settings
• Adjust front camber on the car with the camber plates for more front-end grip and even tyre wear

• Front strut clamp: 50 mm
• Model years: 2012 onwards including Mk7.5 facelift

Real-world gains

Set it soft for daily comfort or firm for maximum control. Increase rebound for tighter chassis discipline, run more front camber for better bite and corner speed, or back it off for wet conditions. This is a proper performance suspension kit for Mk7 Golf GTI, GTD, TSI and TDI 2WD models with IRS and 50 mm front struts that want improved handling and a purposeful, even stance.

Professional fitting and setup

We recommend professional installation and a full geometry setup. MJ Modifications in Warwickshire can supply, fit and align to fast-road or track-day specs. Request a fitting quote at info@mjmodifications.co.uk.

Customer results

Owners tell us the car feels more connected, more predictable and easier to drive quickly. The balance between comfort and control is excellent, and the camber plates make alignment changes simple when moving between daily use and track days.
