Why Upgrade to Independent Rear Suspension?
The factory torsion beam axle found in the Golf Mk2 and Mk3 eventually becomes the limiting factor in high-performance builds.
Our suspension replaces the original rear axle with a modern independent rear suspension based on the proven Syncro geometry - without the compromises of a full Syncro conversion.
The result:
- improved wheel control
- better handling under load
- more precise suspension tuning
- a significantly more advanced engineering solution
No more compromises on driving dynamics - out with the torsion-beam axle and in with performance!
Designed Around Performance
-
NO cutting of the body:
no need to install the raised trunk floor from the Syncro
-
retaining the FWD exhaust:
the exhaust system of the front-wheel drive model can be kept without any modification
-
keep your shock absorbers:
the mounting points of the rear struts are in the exact same place compared to the torsion beam axle
-
including camber and toe adjustment:
our IRS design features eccentric adjusters to incorporate toe and camber adjustment

Frequently Asked Questions - Part 1:
#1: Does the trunk floor need to be modified?
No - only a single additional hole needs to be drilled under the rear seat for the center brace.
#2: Is the original fuel tank retained?
Yes, no modifications to the FWD tank are required.
#3: Can I keep my exhaust?
Yes, the axle is designed to accommodate stock FWD exhaust systems.
#4: Is the independent suspension legal for road use?
Unfortunately not, as this is a dedicated motorsport component.
#5: Which wheel hubs and bearings are used?
The "newer design" with an integrated bearing, taken from the Polo 9N3 or Lupo. Not only are these significantly more robust than Golf 2/3 bearings, but they also eliminate the need for the tedious process of adjusting the bearing play.
-
Frequently Asked Questions - Part 2:
#6: Can stub axles from the Golf Mk2 or Mk3 be used?
No, because the stub axles from the Golf Mk2/Mk3 (with disc brakes) feature mounts for brake caliper carriers, while our suspension arms have the mounts already in place.
#7: Are 5x100 and 4x100 bolt pattern options available?
Yes, both bolt patterns can be installed, this depends solely on the wheel bearing and the brake discs.
#8: What is the track width of the independent suspension?
The track width is the same as that of a standard twist-beam axle.
#9: What is the brake disc diameter after the conversion?
For 4x100: 232x9 mm; for 5x100: 230x9 mm.
#10: Is a stabilizer bar (anti-roll-bar) available?
We are currently in the process of developing a stabilizer bar retrofit kit.
#11: Are spherical bearings (Uniballs/Heim Joints) available instead of PU bushings?
Yes, a spherical bearing upgrade kit is readily available. This kit is highly recommended for rigorous motorsport use.
