Details

Drop your Audi A3 (8L) Hatchback 1.8T S3 Quattro by a fixed 35mm with the Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit. A simple swap with your factory springs delivers a more aggressive stance, sharper handling, and a properly transformed look without the cost or complexity of a full coilover kit.

Progressive winding means the coil rate isn't constant from end to end. The top of the spring uses wider coil spacing for a softer rate, giving you the compliance you want for everyday driving. As the spring compresses under cornering load, the tighter lower coils take over and the rate climbs. The A3 (8L) Quattro gets noticeably less body roll without the harshness you'd expect from a stiffer spring.

Spring rates are set approximately 25-30% above factory, giving your Audi A3 (8L) Hatchback 1.8T S3 Quattro a noticeably sportier character without being uncomfortably stiff. Body roll is cut down, steering response sharpens, and the car settles more quickly over bumps. Built from high-tensile chrome silicon steel, shot-peened and powder-coated for durability.

For drivers who want the look and the handling improvement without going the full coilover route, the Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit hits the sweet spot. 35mm fixed lowering, progressive coil winding, and 25-30% stiffer spring rate, all working perfectly with your factory dampers.

A direct swap with your factory springs. Your existing dampers stay in place; no calibration is required. Professional fitting is recommended, and a proper laser alignment must be carried out once the kit is on the car. 1-year warranty as standard.

This Stance+ 35mm Lowering Spring Kit is suitable for: Audi A3 (8L) (1996-2004) Hatchback. Quattro. Fitted with the following engines: 1.8T S3.
