Product Description

Enhance the stance, handling, and driving experience of your McLaren 540C, 570S, or 570GT with the Velocity AP Progressive Rate Lowering Springs. Engineered specifically for McLaren's Sports Series platform, these premium lowering springs reduce ride height by approximately 22mm (7/8 inch) while maintaining the balance of performance and ride comfort expected from a McLaren.

The factory suspension on the McLaren Sports Series delivers exceptional handling, but the original ride height can leave a noticeable gap between the tires and wheel arches. Velocity AP addresses this with a carefully engineered lowering spring kit that creates a more aggressive stance while retaining the vehicle's factory suspension architecture.

Unlike conventional lowering springs that utilize constant-diameter wire, Velocity AP incorporates an advanced tapered-wire progressive-rate design. This construction allows the spring rate to increase progressively as the suspension compresses, providing a compliant response during everyday driving and greater resistance during aggressive cornering.

The result is improved suspension support under load without the excessively harsh ride associated with some traditional performance springs.

Each spring is manufactured using high-strength X5K spring steel, a premium material selected for its strength, durability, and reduced weight. This advanced steel allows Velocity AP to achieve the required spring characteristics while using less material than conventional spring designs.

According to Velocity AP, its X5K construction produces springs that are approximately 30% lighter than conventional original spring designs. Reducing spring mass can help improve suspension responsiveness while maintaining the durability required for high-performance applications.

The tapered-wire design also reduces the spring's fully compressed height, helping preserve usable suspension travel despite the lower ride height.

Another advantage of Velocity AP's progressive-rate construction is its compatibility with the factory shock absorbers. As the suspension extends, the spring rate decreases, helping the dampers maintain effective rebound control. During compression, the spring rate progressively increases to provide additional support when cornering or encountering greater suspension loads.

This design is intended to improve vehicle stability, reduce unwanted body movement, and deliver more predictable suspension behavior.

The approximately 22mm lowering creates a noticeably more aggressive appearance by reducing wheel gap and enhancing the McLaren's factory body lines. The lower stance also complements aftermarket wheels and wheel spacers for owners seeking a more personalized appearance.

Beyond aesthetics, the revised spring characteristics are designed to improve handling response and cornering stability while maintaining comfortable operation during normal driving.

Velocity AP developed this kit specifically for the McLaren 540C, 570S, and 570GT, making it an excellent option for owners who want to improve their vehicle's stance without replacing the factory dampers or installing a complete aftermarket coilover system.

Whether you're refining the appearance of a 570S Coupe, lowering a 570GT, or enhancing the handling characteristics of a 540C, the Velocity AP Progressive Rate Lowering Springs deliver a balanced combination of performance, ride quality, and aggressive styling.
