The standard Clubsport isn't exactly memorable - guess what the 405hp Litchfield version is like. Review right here 👇
It's fair to say the standard Golf GTI Clubsport feels like a car with potential left unfulfilled. It’s a decent enough hot hatch, just not a truly brilliant one. Its improvements over a regular GTI are clear enough, but the FWD flagship still feels some way from the top of a very talented sector.
The suspension overhaul is rather more involved than the springs fitted to the M3. Having worked with them on previous cars like, Litchfield has again partnered with Nitron for the Golf GTI kit. The NTR Road Sport coilover setup is custom-built for Litchfield installs, two-way adjustable and reduces weight compared to the standard springs and dampers. Essentially, it aims to deliver more excitement with no loss of refinement.
And boy, are you going to accelerate. Both Clubsport and R respond better to tuning because of their larger standard turbo ; to that, Litchfield adds a Stage 2 ECU tune, a RacingLine R600 intake kit, a larger turbo elbow, a chunky intercooler and a Milltek exhaust. The result is 405hp and 390lb ft while keeping every filter and cat, all for £4k including VAT and with a 12-month warranty. No wonder EA888 tuning remains so popular.
