Product details
The Kontrol Sport kit for the 2011 to 2016 Volkswagen Jetta uses four assembled coilovers with 10.5 kg/mm front springs and 6 kg/mm rear springs. Each damper has 36 levels of adjustment, and the monotube, high-pressure body keeps oil and gas apart inside the cylinder.
Valving runs 30 percent stiffer than the Kontrol Pro, so the set rides firmer than that kit. Adjustable front endlinks are noted as required for this application, so plan that part into the job before you start.
The same coilovers are also listed for the 2006 to 2015 Audi A3 2WD with 8P1 chassis, and for the Golf GTI and Rabbit from 2006 to 2009. Rear trailing beam suspension and TDI models are excluded from the Jetta fit. Check the year, make and model before ordering.
Supported features
36 levels of damping adjustment let you dial the system in for handling and comfort. Adjustment alters compression and rebound together for effective, user-friendly setup changes.
Oil and gas stay separated within the cylinder. Compared with twin-tube construction, a monotube dissipates heat faster and more evenly, allows finer damping adjustment, and resists aeration and cavitation for consistent ride quality.
Many MacPherson-strut applications use pillowball top mounts front and rear, installing to OEM specifications. The patented mount adds adjustability, combats noise, and sharpens steering feel and response.
Most applications adjust ride height without losing suspension travel, so you reach the height you want without bottoming out the shock. Separate rear shock-and-spring applications adjust at the spring perch and lower mount.
KSport's advanced upper pillowball mount is available on many applications, giving separate camber and caster adjustment for alignment work and removing the need for a separate camber kit.
Mounts, collars, and spring perches are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for a lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant build. Steel shock bodies are zinc-plated for added protection from corrosion.

Installation
Set ride height with the adjustable lower mount where the application has one; use the spring perch only where the application-specific layout has no adjustable lower mount. Lock every collar with both spanner wrenches. Start damping 18 clicks counterclockwise from full stiff and adjust from there. Professional setup and alignment are required after installation; on MacPherson fronts, establish baseline camber at the elongated lower-mount hole before fine adjustment at the upper plate.
