On VW and Honda forums, the question comes up often: which coilover kit can take you from daily driving to the track without taking it apart each time?

Why choose the Street R1?

The Street R1 is designed for the enthusiast who wants a proper coilover kit without giving up everyday comfort. Separating height and damping lets you lower the body to your preference without making the ride unnecessarily harsh. For your first track days, the R1 offers a solid base with its separate oil reservoir and 33 adjustment positions.

To go further, the range includes the Street R2 (2-way, independent) for those who want to fine-tune compression and rebound separately, and the Street R3 (3-way) for competition-level control. The Track R2 and R3 versions are for track use only, with an inverted monotube architecture.
