Details

A firm favourite in show events and meets, the Stance+ Ultra Coilover Kit gives your Audi A3 (8L) 2WD Hatchback a properly dialled-in stance and a noticeably more refined ride than entry-level kits. Gas-assisted damping and zinc-plated construction set it apart. The kit is suitable for all Audi A3 (8L) 2WD Hatchback and will fit both Petrol and Diesel engines.

Underneath, the kit uses FUCH oil-filled, gas-assisted dampers matched to powder-coated chrome silicon springs, both uprated by around 25-30% for a sportier, more controlled feel. The gas assistance is the key difference here, adding a refinement and progressiveness to the damping response that pure oil-filled kits simply can't match. NOK oil seals and hardened chrome piston rods round out a seriously well-specified package.

Designed for enthusiasts who use their cars every day but still want a great handling and looking car, the Stance+ Ultra sits in that sweet spot between performance and practicality. The gas-assisted damping is firm and controlled without being harsh, and 100mm of drop means there's plenty of room to find your perfect driving height.

Everything you need is in the box, including heavy duty short drop links and two ride height adjustment spanners. The only parts reused from your factory setup are the top mounts and bearings, so we'd suggest fitting new ones at the same time. Have the kit installed by a professional, get the alignment sorted, and enjoy the results. 2-year unlimited mileage warranty included.

This Stance+ Ultra 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.
