Hatchback / Cabriolet | Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)
Spring Rates: 5 kg/mm Front / 3.2 kg/mm Rear
Coilover Type: RN
BC Racing BR Series coilovers for the Volkswagen Golf MK3, MK3.5 and MK3 Cabriolet (1992–2002) are engineered to deliver an excellent balance between performance, comfort, and ride height adjustability across all body styles based on the MK3 platform.
This RN-type kit is factory-developed to offer the best overall compromise of spring rates, damping characteristics, ride height range, and top mount design. The selected 5 / 3.2 kg/mm spring rate combination improves chassis control and reduces body roll while maintaining a compliant ride suitable for daily driving and long journeys.
The BR Series is more than capable of handling fast road driving and occasional track use, while still retaining a high degree of ride comfort, making it a versatile upgrade for standard hatchback, facelift MK3.5, and Cabriolet models alike.
Why Choose Coilovers for the Golf MK3 Platform
Upgrading to adjustable coilovers on the Golf MK3 platform allows precise ride height control, improved damping response, and better chassis stability compared to standard shock and spring combinations.
The BC Racing BR Series offers a proven solution for owners looking to lower their Golf MK3, MK3.5, or Cabriolet while maintaining comfort for daily driving and long-distance use.
