Details
Most coilovers compromise ride quality at extreme ride heights. The Stance+ Proline doesn't. The base-adjustable front struts physically change length rather than running the spring seat to the limit, so your Audi A3 (8P1) Hatchback 2WD and Quattro maintains 100% damper travel whether it's sitting at 30mm or 75mm of drop.
Base adjustment is the Proline's defining feature. Where most coilover kits achieve lowering by repositioning the spring seat, the Proline front struts change in physical length. Shorten the strut to go lower, lengthen it to go higher. The result is that your piston rod always has its full stroke available, giving the suspension system everything it needs to do its job properly at any ride height from 30 to 75mm of drop. Adjustment can be done while the kit is on the car.
Underneath the Proline's headline drop numbers is a properly specified damper package. Gas-assisted, oil-filled FUCH dampers uprated around 25-30% over standard, with NOK oil seals for durability and FUCH damper oil for consistent lubricity. Chrome silicon springs are shot-peened for strength and powder-coated black. Powder coated damper bodies complete a kit that's engineered to perform and built to last.
Fixed damping is set at around 25-30% above factory specification, tuned to suit the specific weight and geometry of your Audi A3 (8P1) Hatchback 2WD and Quattro. It's a firm, capable setup that strikes the right balance between handling performance and day-to-day usability.
The Proline is the kit for enthusiasts who've thought seriously about how low they want their car. Up to 75mm of drop with full damper travel maintained at every setting means you're not compromising the way the car rides to get the look you want. The base-adjustable design makes that possible where conventional coilovers simply can't go.
The kit uses your OE top mounts and bearings. New ones are always worth fitting at the same time. Before installation, copper grease all threaded components to protect them and make future height adjustments straightforward. Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician, with a full alignment reset afterwards. Drop links are included where needed. Backed by a 2-year Stance+ warranty.
Kit supplied with 55mm front strut diameters.
