Excelerate Performance - North American Distributor for MSS Kits! Now for the MK5 GTI/R32 and MK6 Golf, GTI, R Models!
MSS KITS designs and brings to market a range of Premium Fully Adjustable Performance Spring kit products for prestige German
sports cars marketed under the MSS Spring Kits brand. MSS spring kits products replaces the factory (OE) parts yet retains the passive or
active dampers – such as the Audi MagneRide™, VW ACC/DCC™, BMW EDC™ or Porsche PASM/S™.
We are often asked why MSS products cost more than a set of one-time lowering springs from well established brands.
The simple answer here is that our products enable for enhanced ride comfort and performance handling for streets or track
use whilst retaining the factory shock absorbers. Bonus features are an easy cost effective upgrade path. It is important to
understand that these benefits are all often regarded as not possible from a single product let alone "just a set of springs".
From firsthand experience of the established brands products for the VW Golf MK7 R/GTi; Audi S3/RS3 have caused a
few rubbing, bottoming out, harsh ride issues that many of you can attest to I am sure. MSS has engineered these issues
out of the product with extended road tests (real roads; real every day use not computer aided simulations).
The upside for you so that, you get a 'fit & forget' product that works as intended. We back all that up with a Lifetime Warranty - no quibbles/no fuss
Just a simple plain replacement for new if our product fails

What kind of drop should I expect?
Audi Kits are naturally lower than the Golf/Gti/R so results will vary depending on car.
- Standard kits see fixed 10mm drop in the front and rear is adjustable to 30mm below stock height
- Fully Adjustable kits are adjustable from 10-30mm below stock height front and rear
Which kit suits you and your cars driving habits?
This Chart below is a solid reference guide to what is going to suit you and your driving style. Are you dissatisfied with the ride
quality of your car with the factory suspension? MSS Street or Sport spring kits are going to be an ideal choice for improved ride.
Utilizing revised coil bind diameter and spring height changes, MSS has covered grounds to allow the springs to carry a lower spring
rate than stock, while increasing handling and road stability by a significant amount. It must be magic!
- Every day user, zero track days but want the car to handle better and be as comfortable as possible? - Streets rate is most suited to you.
- Every day user, track days once in a blue moon or even frequent but also want the car to be more comfortable without lack
of performance? - Sports are for you! This is the do one, do all rate for 90% of drivers.
- Still drive the car on the street but didn't mind a harsher ride quality? But at the same time want much better handling than stock,
increased ride comfort and want the car to be 100% confident on the street and on the track? Track or Track LS are for you.
MSS kits explained.
THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND OUR REAR STACKED ARRANGEMENT DESIGN
Think of MSS Spring Kits as a ‘Speaker system’ with dedicated speaker components.
– Tweeters to handle high frequencies.
– Mid-woofers to handle mid-range frequencies.
– Subwoofers to handle bass that can be felt, and in some cases heard many blocks away.
Each speaker component is specifically designed to operate at its optimum within a focused frequency range. Our spring kit solution, with its triple-rated stacked rear springs arrangement, acts exactly in the same way as the ‘Speaker system’.
– The low rated springs in the stacked arrangement, rated from 100Ibs, are the ‘tweeters’ and therefore handles smaller road bumps.
–The middle springs rated from 300Ibs can be thought of as the ‘mid-woofers’ handling medium road bumps.
–The heavy duty springs rated over 2500Ibs can be thought of as the ‘subwoofers’ handling big compression such as going over speed humps or curbs on a race circuit
The different compression load handling capabilities, illustrated above with the 3 states of compression, and the rebound capabilities of each selected spring ensures the following...;
– Stability is maintained during high speed cornering or braking to ensure that the car is not unsettled easily. These are attributed to the middle and heavy duty springs resisting and keeping sudden movements to minimal.
– Ride Comfort is retained over rough tarmac mainly attributed to the smaller and middle rated springs though the heavy duty spring also play a subtle role in ensuring sudden compression such as driving over a pothole is contained with a muted/subtle 'thud' sound through the cabin which replaces the prior shudder of the cabin .
– Composed and Balanced handling is evident during spirited street driving or use on race track in advance driving class or competition and this is mainly attributed to the heavy duty springs working in unison with the middle rated springs.
– Squatting is greatly reduced under acceleration, especially beneficial exiting a corner as the car remains controlled. The benefit of the heavy duty springs becomes apparent during this driving scenario. It really does a great job of handling high loads which is evident during acceleration.
– Dive during hard braking, attributed to load transfer from the rear axle, is minimized due to our progressive stacked rear arrangement counteracting against the rate of load transfer from the rear axle.
