STANCE+

45mm Lowering Springs for Audi A3 Diesel (8L) 1996-2002

Hatchback / Diesel / 2WD

1.9TDi


Replace your factory springs with the Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit and drop your Audi A3 (8L) 2WD Hatchback by a fixed 45mm. The progressive coil winding keeps everyday ride quality intact, and the 25-30% uprated spring rate noticeably tightens up the way your Audi corners.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Fixed 45mm drop on this application. A clean, factory-correct lowering with no adjustment required.
  • Designed specifically for the diesel-engined variant. Diesel front weight is rate matched.
  • Progressively wound coil design for a softer initial rate (everyday comfort) and a firmer rate under cornering load (less body roll).
  • Designed to work with your existing factory dampers. No damper change required.
  • Powder-coated black for long-term corrosion resistance and a clean look behind the wheel.

Drop your Audi A3 1.9TDi (8L) 2WD Hatchback by a fixed 45mm 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 Audi A3 1.9TDi (8L) 2WD Hatchback 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 1.9TDi (8L) 2WD Hatchback 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.

This kit is designed specifically for the diesel-engined variant of the Audi A3 (8L). Diesel engines typically carry more weight up front than petrol equivalents, and this kit is rate-matched to suit. Fitting a petrol-spec kit to a diesel car will leave the front sitting too low.

The Stance+ Lowering Spring Kit is the most accessible way to lower your Audi A3 1.9TDi (8L) 2WD Hatchback properly. 45mm fixed drop, no damper change required, and a progressively wound coil design that genuinely improves the ride and handling rather than just dropping the car.

A direct swap with your factory springs. Can be used with your factory fit dampers, 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+ 45mm Lowering Spring Kit is suitable for: Audi A3 (8L) (1996-2002) Hatchback. 2WD. Fitted with the following engines: 1.9TDi.
