SUSPENSION

SUSPENSION THAT KEEPS YOUR RIDE SMOOTH

Give your classic Volkswagen the smooth, responsive ride it deserves with EMPI 9570 Adjustable Coil Over Shocks, a popular upgrade for enthusiasts who take their vintage VW beyond the pavement. Whether you’re cruising country roads, heading to a local show, or exploring mild off-road terrain, these coil overs add both stability and style.

Built to work with your stock torsion bar suspension (not as a stand-alone unit), these shocks deliver improved handling and better load support while still maintaining the classic VW ride feel. Perfect for early-model VWs, these shocks are ideal for those who want to freshen up their suspension without going full custom.

Why This Upgrade Saves You Time

Installing a pair of EMPI adjustable coil overs is a fast, bolt-on solution that avoids the headache of rebuilding worn-out factory suspension piece by piece. Instead of sourcing individual shocks, springs, or mounts and hoping they all work together, these are designed to fit right the first time. That means less time in the garage, fewer compatibility issues, and more time actually driving your VW.

Plus, the adjustability gives you a chance to fine-tune your ride height and stiffness without constantly swapping parts. Whether you’re correcting sag, hauling extra gear, or just want to improve road feel, you’ll be glad you chose a simple, efficient upgrade with real results.

Why This Upgrade Saves You Money

Old shocks and tired suspension don’t just make your car ride rough but, they cause uneven tire wear, stress other components, and lead to bigger repair bills down the line. By upgrading with EMPI’s coil overs, you’re protecting your investment and getting longer life out of your tires, bushings, and steering components.

And because these shocks are designed to work with your existing torsion bar setup, you don’t need to spend extra money on a full suspension swap. It’s a smart, budget-conscious way to breathe new life into your VW without compromising quality or performance.
