K-custom VW Golf GTi (MK8) with H&R Deep suspension!

The current is Criticism quite big on the new GTi (generally on the Golf 8). But that's actually the case with almost every generation of models. And when the next model is due, none was as good as the old one ^^. But we like the MK8 right from the start! And against the 2,0-liter turbo gasoline engine with 245 hp, with the differential lock on the front axle, lowering the vehicle by 15 millimeters, with optionally available adaptive chassis control DCC (driving modes Comfort, Eco, Sport, Individual) or the seven-speed DSG with the new "Shift by wire"-Technology is not objectionable anyway. So why the sometimes violent hostility on the net? Because of the optics? The MK8 has a flatter roof, tighter outer panels and looks definitely wider than the MK7. In addition, the typical GTI features such as the magical letters in the radiator grille, the honeycomb pattern, the red accents and the sportier apron with the distinctive ten LED dots as fog lights.

Lots of sportiness straight from the factory!

There are also black side skirts, a front splitter and a sporty rear diffuser. The look is rounded off with 17, 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels. In our opinion, VW has everything done right. And that's what we mean with regard to the eyeliner above the headlights. Here we recently saw a discussion on Facebook with almost 2.000 comments about how impossible this detail is. Hello? Have a look the new M4 at! And a prime example of the coherent overall concept is this example from the tuner based in Estenfeld K-custom. The guys do the hot hatch perfect! And the tuned Wolfsburg compact sports car shows that the MK8 will also be popular with tuners and screwdrivers. By the way, the car is the development vehicle for H&R. They provide your range Lowering springs, track plates, stabilizers as well as a Monotube coil over of course on the new GTI.

with H&R DEEP coilover kit

And the first Lowering springs (Art.Nr .: 28639-7) and Trak + Spacers has been around for over a month. The 8 series from K-custom has one H&R DEEP coilover kit including lintel dome bearings and new ones stabilizers built in front and rear. It's hard to believe that it is such a deep landing gear not around a Airride acts. And all of that with TÜV parts certificate. But the built-in one-piece matt black are also an eye-catcher mbDESIGN Turbo S alloy wheels. They were installed all around in the format 8,5 × 19 inches and fitted with 225/35 R19 tires. A successful contrast in combination with the white of the body. Incidentally, if you look closely, you will see that the one in front under license plates remote has been. Instead, an in-house license plate holder from K-custom is used, which is easy to use weight lose leaves.

EGO-X exhaust system from HG Motorsport

And the engine has also been tampered with a little. One donated the two-liter four-cylinder turbo engine Pipercorss sports air filter and on top of that, the GTI got one EGO-X exhaust system from HG Motorsport with 114 millimeter carbon tailpipes. And last but not least, something has also happened in the interior. K-custom built one here Easofix club sport barwho just went to the rear Isofix brackets the back seat is latched and thus not even registration required is. Further changes, especially with regard to the optics, are already planned. If we get more information about this, there is of course an update for this report.
