YSR Advanced Pro Plus Tarmac Rally 2-Way Coilovers Volkswagen Golf 5 MK5 03-08 - 55mm 4WD Rear Shock & Spring One Unit

Track-bred remote reservoir suspension for VW Golf Mk5 2003 to 2008

Dial in your Golf V for serious tarmac pace with this two-way adjustable coilover kit engineered for MacPherson-strut applications. Designed for enthusiasts who demand precise chassis control, this package blends inverted monotube technology with external canisters for consistent damping on fast road, stages and circuit sessions.

What you get

• Separate rebound and compression adjustment for fine-tuning balance and grip
• Inverted monotube dampers for robust performance under hard use
• External reservoirs to increase oil capacity and manage heat for reduced fade
• Braided lines linking the remote canisters via the top mounts for flexible reservoir placement
• Rear integrated damper and spring assembly for AWD variants

Why it works

The additional fluid volume of the remote canisters stabilises damping characteristics during prolonged high-speed driving. The result is repeatable performance, improved stability over rough tarmac and predictable response when pushing hard. The two-way adjusters let you quickly tailor bump and rebound to tyres, surface and driving style so you can chase lap times or enjoy confidence on B-roads.
