Enhance the stance, handling, and overall driving experience of your McLaren 720S with the Velocity AP Progressive Rate Lowering Springs. Engineered specifically for the 720S platform, this premium suspension upgrade lowers the vehicle approximately 22mm (7/8 inch), creating a more aggressive appearance while maintaining the comfort and responsiveness expected from McLaren's advanced suspension system.
The McLaren 720S combines exceptional supercar performance with sophisticated suspension technology, making it important to select lowering springs that complement rather than compromise its original driving characteristics. Velocity AP developed its progressive-rate lowering springs to provide improved handling, reduced ride height, and a more purposeful stance without requiring a complete aftermarket suspension replacement.
Unlike conventional lowering springs that use constant-diameter wire, Velocity AP utilizes an advanced tapered-wire progressive-rate design. This construction allows the spring rate to increase progressively as the suspension compresses, providing a more compliant response during everyday driving and greater resistance during aggressive cornering.
The result is a suspension setup designed to deliver improved body control and vehicle stability while preserving ride comfort over uneven road surfaces.
Each spring is manufactured using high-strength X5K spring steel, a premium material used in high-level motorsport applications. This advanced steel provides excellent strength and durability while allowing Velocity AP to reduce the amount of material required during manufacturing.
According to Velocity AP, its X5K construction produces springs that are approximately 30% lighter than the original spring design. The reduced spring mass can contribute to improved suspension responsiveness while maintaining the durability required for demanding performance applications.
The tapered-wire construction also reduces the spring's fully compressed height, helping preserve usable suspension travel despite the lower ride height.
One of the primary benefits of the progressive-rate design is its compatibility with the factory suspension dampers. As the suspension extends, the spring rate decreases, helping the shock absorbers maintain rebound control. During compression, the spring rate progressively increases to provide additional support when cornering or experiencing greater suspension loads.
The approximately 22mm drop reduces the gap between the tires and wheel arches, creating a lower, more aggressive stance that complements the 720S's aerodynamic bodywork and factory wheel design.
Beyond aesthetics, the revised spring characteristics are designed to improve handling response, reduce unwanted body movement, and provide more predictable suspension behavior during spirited driving.
Velocity AP developed this kit specifically for the McLaren 720S, allowing owners to enhance their vehicle's appearance and handling while retaining the factory suspension architecture.
For enthusiasts seeking a lower stance without the expense or complexity of a complete aftermarket suspension conversion, the Velocity AP Progressive Rate Lowering Springs offer an excellent balance of appearance, performance, and everyday usability.
