When it comes to sport dampers at an affordable price, the compromise between performance and comfort has been a persistent dilemma for keen drivers and enthusiasts. With the RacingLine Performance Sport Damper kit, which consists of two front and two rear Tri-Valve dampers, this dilemma becomes a thing of the past for Golf 5, 6, Scirocco and the other VWG cars on the A5-platform at an affordable price.
Extensive development from our vast race set-up experience on the VWG A5 platform ensures superior road-holding and a positive transformation in handling characteristics, all achieved without compromising comfort; guaranteeing greater stability, control and therefore driving pleasure.
The VWR Sport Damper kit is supplied as 4 dampers WITH springs. Although the standard springs can be retained for this kit for those who want to retain standard ride height, it has been designed from the outset to work in harmony with our VWR Sport Springs. In tandem, these upgrades provide the ultimate in handling and comfort. These two upgrades really do make the perfect combination for your car.
Benefits & Features:
- Motorsport Quality
- Bringing together all of our motorsport suspension expertise gives a high quality, fast-road orientated damper kit employing sophisticated valving inside the dampers for optimum wheel-control.
- Perfectly Matched
- The shock absorbers have a precisely matched damping curve to the VWR Sport Spring rate or to the original factory springs.
- Tri-Valve Technology
- Ensures suitability of dampers for both standard and lowered cars, as well as sporty feel during high speed cornering on smooth surfaces and comfort on uneven surfaces.
- No Damper Fade
- The addition of Nitrogen gas into the system eliminates oil foaming when the oil is hot, the main cause of shock fade. Our superior Tri-Valve design controls and limits the heat build-up internally ensuring the oil lasts longer.
- Dual Tube Design
- Comfort guaranteed thanks to dual tube design and low pressure Nitrogen gas system.
- High Quality Oil
- Longevity far exceeds OEM spec and many rival aftermarket dampers of similar value due to the higher quality oil used in the VWR Sport Dampers.
Our Sport Damper features three hydraulic valves: one bump valve, one rebound valve and a main valve, with the movement of the damper shaft predominantly controlled by the valves in low and high speed shaft frequencies (smooth and rough road conditions). The bump valve is mainly responsible for the sporty, agile feel of the car on smoother surfaces, whilst the rebound valve maintains the comfort balance. Through extensive testing of damping rates, our engineers have established what we consider to be the ideal settings for enthusiastic driving. The VWR Sport Damper kit is aimed at fast road use, yet has been developed carefully to ensure that the comfort is not sacrificed - in fact, it is the beautiful, taut ride quality that most customers are most impressed by when they try the Sport Damper Kit. Unforgiving bumps in the road which cause other damper kits to react harshly are controlled by the main valve which overrides the bump and rebound valve. It smooths out the reaction of the damper shaft at high speeds to maintain comfort. This intelligent Tri-Valve technology is what sets our Sports Dampers apart from standard OEM dampers. It allows you to have the best of both worlds.
Development
RacingLine Performance engineers have worked tirelessly to achieve this optimum balance between performance and comfort by using the most sophisticated testing equipment and procedures. A shock dyno was used to extensively simulate the performance of the damper in a variety of situations, from the race track to the road, to confirm endurance and reliability. The body and bracketry of the Sport Dampers are made of mild steel and the damper shaft features a hardened chrome finish. The dampers are finished in a black gloss paint with the RacingLine Performance logo applied. Our Dampers are supplied with a mounting nut for the top of the component, and bespoke to this kit is a Teflon disc which attaches to the damper shaft to prevent the bump stop from sucking oil from the top shaft seal. This is a feature which has been overlooked by most other damper designs in the market and it is one of the key reasons why RacingLine Performance Sport Dampers perform optimally on a consistent basis. How do we achieve this? All of our testing is done using high-cost multi-way adjustable dampers and both VWR Sport Spring and the original factory spring combinations. Only once we have finished our set up do we then 'lock' our settings. The profiles of these development dampers are then fully measured on our damper dyno, and the results replicated exactly into the valving of the Sport dampers.
Fitment Note
This kit is compatible with cars fitted with Volkswagen Group's switchable ACC suspension – although it's important to be clear that the dampers loose the switchability of the standard dampers, and an additional electronic box is required from us at extra cost to avoid fault codes in the car. Versions of the Street Damper Suspension Kits are compatible with front and four-wheel drive chassis.

Can't ask for more from a 7.1 or 5.1.2 receiver
Style: Receiver, Style: Receiver
My previous Yamaha receiver was 10 ys old, and was an entry level 5.1 model (RX-V373). I accidentally fried it by putting my phone's USB connector in. I have been wanting to upgrade for a while the last few yrs but waited it out until receivers have 8k pass through (so whenever 8k becomes more of a thing I can keep this new one a bit longer). The 3773 had 4k pass through when I got it 10 yrs ago, well before 4k became as available as it is now for example, which was one reason I held out on replacing as long as I did. This time around I decided to step up into the premium Aventage line of Yamaha. It was between this & the A4A, not a huge price difference, but I would have needed to replace my entertainment center since the A4A is too deep to fit. Didn't seem worth it & now I'm really happy with my choice. My living room set up (in a condo) has 2 surrounds, to add 2 more would require building mounts on the wall (couch is against the wall with 2 surrounds on side tables) which I don't want. This has 7 channels to allow for 2 Atmos front firing speakers which I got & love how immersive it sounds. Bi-amping the front towers is an option, but that uses 2 extra channels so the Atmos front speakers can't be connected at the same time as bi-amping. I experimented with biamping & biwiring & couldn't hear any difference so I have the fronts biwired, allowing for the 2 Atmos front connections. New features/improvements from my old receiver include more power/watts, lower THD & better sound, streaming music directly from the receiver with Music Cast, and it processes Atmos & DTS audio. One key feature all the Aventage models have that the RX ones don't is the 5th foot in the middle, which was designed & tested to improve the sound with more stabilization. Aventage also has a 3 yr warranty (vs 2 for RX). The top of the line RX model looks identical in specs which I also considered but it just sounds like this 1st Aventage model is slightly better with it its parts & sound quality, and not that much more. Especially since I got the A2A on sale for 999.95 (vs the 1200 price). I actually bought this for 1150 which was a teeny mark down, and then saw Amazon put it on sale for 999.95 shortly after (about 2 weeks). Amazon customer service was great when I called about that, and they credited the difference. Back to the receiver...2 subwoofers can be connected, and an amplifier for the 2 front speakers can be connected as well through pre outs. Probably more improvements but those are the main ones. Along with this receiver upgrade, I also upgraded my subwoofer & added a Nvidia Shield Pro streamer (due to it handling Atmos & 4k upscaling of lower hd content, which my Roku Ultra cannot do). My system now includes Polk TSI 400 front towers Polk CS20 center, Polk T15 surrounds (all of these Polk speakers are from 10 yrs ago as well & still work great for me, they sound better too with this receiver). I added Klipsch R-41SA Atmos front firing speakers, and upgraded from a Polk PSW505 subwoofer to an SVS SB3000 (night & day difference with that upgrade!). Have a Roku Ultra from a few yrs ago, and the Nvidia as well now. The TV also will be upgraded at some point, but I'm perfectly content with it now (is a 7 yrs old 55 inch 4K Sony Bravia). This receiver also processes Dolby Vision which I'd need a new TV for, as well as eArc which this receiver also has. Over time I will continue adding to my set up. A decent record player is next, and a current blu ray player (the one I have is rather old & only has 1080p). Then a new TV & A 2nd sub (will get another SVS SB3000). The last & most expensive upgrade will be the rest of the speakers. From Polk to B&W most likely, but when I get to this I will compare both at the same price point as I am still very impressed with the quality of my Polks for their price point. I also plan to add an amp (Emotiva most likely) to power the fronts. Another reason I was ok with the A2A watts per channel for now (100 with 2 channels driven for music, unsure what it is at 5.1.2 but it's plenty especially with the thunder the SVS sub provides even at low volumes, and the ability to boost dialogue in addition to the center channel. I'd rather get a dedicated amp for more music power than a higher priced receiver just due to more watts. Very pricey to do all of this at once (in particular the speakers & amp), but for now I am thrilled with how much better everything sounds with these phase 1 upgrades. Highly recommend it, if you are coming from an entry level budget receiver this can pump more life into your current speakers.

Sounds fantastic and easy to operate
Style: Receiver
I used to sell home audio equipment a long time ago and I love this unit! Nice & clean look, the layout for inputs/output is standard and easy to see and the remote makes sense...well, to me it does lol. I had purchased an O***o unit because it's been good brand for a while...returned it because it was defective but I didn't care for it (you had to be a real audiophile to get into the setup and who has time for that?). The Yamaha is easy to work with and sounds fantastic. Make sure you don't go cheap on the speakers!

Great when on sale
Style: Receiver
Update: I got a new Sony X90L TV and this receiver just doesn't like that TV or something. I've had at least 4 instances where the TV said there was no signal. The receiver was on and the proper input was selected. If I hit the menu button on the receiver, I could see that. No inputs on the receiver would work. Unplugging the power from the receiver and plugging it back in fixes the problem in every case. Based on my googling, many others have similar problems.
Yamaha receivers are generally over priced I've noticed. And they seem to skimp on features, e.g. a receiver with an MSRP of $1000 doesn't have a single analog video input. I got this on sale for $650 and for that I'm quite happy. I had a Denon that I got pretty inexpensively, but I hated the Denon. Things didn't work, it was confusing, didn't sound all that good and didn't do HDMI input switching well. The Yamaha is a far better reliever in every way. It does cost quite a bit more but it's just so much nicer.

Modern interfaces, clean sound of Yamaha, tons of features and intelligence.

Modern interfaces, clean sound of Yamaha, tons of features and intelligence.
Purchased this to replace my amazing RX3300 (it started turning off on its own), and wasn't sure these newer generations of AV receivers would have the same clean and powerful sound, but the RX-A2A did not disappoint. Plus I am loving all of the new features and more relevant interfaces. It provides great value for the price. It is one of the few brands that kept the original sound as natural as possible (of course, there are plenty of modes to choose from for specific characteristics, but only if you choose). Perfect fit for my large family room.

Hours of my life I won’t get back.
Style: Receiver
I tried to make this system work. I REALLY did. Probably blew 10 hours trying to somehow make it work. Had to return it.
Customer Support - What customer support? Yamaha cut hours from weak 9 to only 5 hrs a day. Email/chat got no call back. It’s so bad I’m not sure Yamaha is gonna make it.
Lip sync - Impossible to fix video to sound lag.
Musiccast wireless - See lag. Also sound is tinny as hell. Also won’t stay linked.
Could not get speakers to respond to giant volume knob. Would respond to app. App was mediocre.
Tried to use with YSP-5600 sound bar which is allegedly Mussiccast. Nope.
In short, it has been a HORRIBLE experience and I really tried.
