The Whiteline Grip Series Stage 1 Kit takes your Mk5 2.0T from “competent” to “corner-carving weapon” in one intelligent package. Designed for enthusiasts who value results over endless tinkering, this system provides the most effective first-step upgrade toward maximum chassis performance.

- Whiteline front & rear adjustable sway bars (where applicable)
Reduce body roll and fine-tune balance between front-end bite and rear rotation. - Upgraded drop links
Maintain precise geometry and articulation under load. - Whiteline performance lowering springs
Lower center of gravity, tighten response, and improve stance without harshness.
Whether carving mountain roads, lapping at HPDE events, or just enjoying a sharper daily commute, Whiteline’s Grip Series Stage 1 kit transforms the Mk5 GTI’s famously balanced chassis into a precision instrument. Pair it with your choice of performance shocks or struts for the ultimate “set it and forget it” suspension solution.
Key benefits:
