Details

Your Audi A3 (8L) Hatchback 2WD was built for more than factory ride height. The Stance+ Street Coilover Kit is a fully adjustable suspension upgrade that lets you set the perfect drop for your driving style, whether that's a clean daily setup or full-on low life.

The dampers are filled with FUCH oil for consistent performance and are set approximately 25–30% firmer than the factory shocks. That translates to noticeably less body roll, crisper turn-in, and a much more planted feel at speed. The springs are shot-peened chrome silicon steel with a black powder coat finish. Tough enough for British roads and good enough for weekend track sessions.

The Stance+ Street is our entry-level coilover kit, but don't let that fool you. It's a serious upgrade over factory suspension. Thousands of drivers across the UK run these kits daily, and the 2-year unlimited mileage warranty means you can fit with confidence. We sell hundreds of these kits every year, a very popular car to be lowered.

The kit uses your existing factory top mounts and bearings. We'd suggest replacing them with new ones for the best results. Fitting should be carried out by a qualified technician, with tracking and alignment reset once installed. Stance+ Street Coilovers are backed by a 2-year warranty as standard.

This Stance+ Street Ride Height Adjustable Coilover Kit is suitable for: Audi A3 (8L) (1996-2002) Hatchback. 2WD. Fitted with the following engines: 1.6, 1.8, 1.8T, 1.9TDi.

Entry Level Brilliance..

Street Coilover kit

Give you a firmer, more controlled ride than factory suspension, helping reduce body roll and improving stability through corners.

The uprated, oil filled dampers and matched springs keep the car planted over bumps while still staying usable for daily driving.

With millimetre precise ride height adjustment, you can dial in the stance you want and fine tune the balance between comfort and handling.

Lower stance. Sharper handling. Road ready.

Transform Your Drive

Built to improve on road performance with a firmer, more controlled feel than standard suspension.

You’ll notice flatter cornering, reduced body roll, and a more agile, predictable response through bends, with ride height adjustable to suit anything from fast road to low cruising.
