Tein FLEX Z Coilover Suspension Kit for Volkswagen VW Golf 8 Mk8 (CN1 280TSI / 280 TSI) 2020+ - Adjustable Coilovers, Height Adjustable Lowering, 16-Way Damping Shocks & Springs

Upgrade your VW’s handling with Japan-built adjustable suspension

Give your Volkswagen Golf 8 the fast-road composure and daily comfort it deserves. This Tein FLEX Z coilover suspension kit is engineered in Yokohama, Japan for the Golf VIII CN1 280TSI from 2020 onward, delivering precise height adjustability, 16-stage damping control and genuine street comfort with improved body control. It is the ideal VW Golf Mk8 suspension upgrade for drivers who want a refined ride on rough UK roads and sharper response on B-roads or track days.

The twin-tube damper design provides generous stroke and smooth movement over broken tarmac, speed humps and potholes, while still keeping the car composed at higher speeds. With low gas pressure and high-quality internals, the shocks react fluidly to road inputs, enhancing grip, stability and confidence. Adjust the damping with simple clicks to tailor firmness for daily driving, spirited runs or heavier loads, then fine-tune the stance with full-length ride height adjustment independent of spring preload.
