Air Lift Performance VW Mk7 Twist Beam (2015-17) Threaded-Body Kit

Since 1974 the Volkswagen Golf has set the standard of what makes a good hot hatchback. Combining German engineering and reliability with a hugely versatile chassis, the Golf is capable of supporting a massive range of engines and specs – from eco diesels to 300bhp and AWD.

With the launch of the MK7 platform, VW continued to use their tried-and-true platform recipe to bring a large number of models to market using the same underpinnings. Now, Air Lift Performance can help you attain the look and driving character you crave for your MK7-based ride, using 50mm diameter front struts and a twist beam rear suspension. The important part of this process is for you is for you to identify your suspension type and order the appropriate kit.

In front, you need to make sure that the diameter of the bottom of the strut, where it gets clamped by the knuckle, is 50mm in diameter. If this measures out to 55mm, then you need to order part number 78522. VW seems to mix up this specification depending on model and trim. International customers should take the extra time to determine these measurements, as we may not have access to your model’s requirement at this time.

For the rear, check to make sure that you have a twist beam suspension. If you have a multi-link suspension, you need to order part number 78664.

If you have found this to be the correct product for your ride, you will be happy to know that you can expect a similar drop height and road manners that you’ve come to expect from Air Lift Performance on other VW platforms.
