54748 - H&R - Sport Lowering Springs - Volkswagen Jetta 8V FWD MK3 (1996-1998)
Product Information
H&R Sport Springs give the Volkswagen Jetta 8V FWD MK3 a lower stance and a smaller wheel-to-fender gap. Bringing the center of gravity closer to the road helps reduce body roll and improve handling, while the spring design balances control with everyday ride comfort.
Manufactured in Germany at H&R's ISO 9001-certified facility, these springs use 54SiCr6 spring steel rated at 290,000 psi. Shot-peening and block-setting support strength, resilience, and consistent performance.
This application uses a front and rear spring set. The specified lowering is 1.4 inches at the front and 1.3 inches at the rear. Review the fitment table and all application notes before ordering.

Fitment Notes
- The final ride-height change depends on engine size, battery configuration, and vehicle options.
- There is a mid-year change in the size of the top of the front springs. Please check to see which tops are in your car. Open the hood and look at the top of the struts. If the struts have a black plastic cap, this should indicate that you have the large spring top. Use part number 54764, 54764-55 or 31016-1. If there is a round metal top with rubber around it and no plastic cap you should have the smaller spring end. Use part number 54748, 54748-55, 54748-88, 31016-2 or 31016-3.
