Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers – Audi A3/TT / VW Golf TSI/TDI/GTI Mk7/Mk8 (FWD)

Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers – Audi A3/TT / VW Golf TSI/TDI/GTI (FWD)

Part Number: VWS MU21S1 | Drivetrain: FWD models only

Over 40 years of motorsport engineering distilled into a street-ready coilover kit. The Öhlins Road & Track series delivers a genuine racing experience without sacrificing daily drivability — thanks to Öhlins' proprietary Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology. This FWD-specific kit (VWS MU21S1) features matched 70 N/mm front and rear spring rates, tuned for front-wheel drive platforms. Springs included. Weight reduction of approx. 10kg compared to original suspension.

⚠️ FWD models only. For AWD / Quattro / 4Motion models, see VWS MU21S2.

⚠️ Note: For vehicles equipped OE with DDC (Dynamic Damper Control) electronic suspension, an Öhlins cancellation kit is also required (sold separately). See cancellation kit table below.

Vehicle Fitment — FWD Models (55mm Front McPherson Strut)

What is DFV (Dual Flow Valve)?

DFV is Öhlins' proprietary damping technology that sets the Road & Track range apart from conventional coilovers. The dual flow valve provides consistent damping characteristics on both compression and rebound strokes — the damper fluid follows a consistent flow path in both directions. This means the wheel and tyre can rapidly return to the road surface after a bump, maximising grip and traction at all times.

Because DFV opens more quickly on minor road imperfections, ride comfort is surprisingly supple — more akin to an OEM strut than a typical coilover. Over undulating surfaces, the compliance of the R&T units allows the car to crest bumps and potholes while remaining stable and in control. Traction is always maintained at its optimum level.
