Lowering Springs for Audi S3 Type 8V

The H&R Lowering Springs (part number 28810-1) are engineered for the Audi S3 Type 8V, offering enthusiasts an optimized handling experience and a more aggressive, sporty appearance without sacrificing standard ride comfort. These springs are precisely tuned to work seamlessly with original shock absorbers and are compatible with vehicles equipped with electronically controlled shock absorbers or active suspensions. Crafted from hardened and tempered spring steel, these lowering springs feature weather-resistant surface protection through zinc phosphating and powder coating, typically in the iconic “H&R Blue.” Developed and manufactured in Lennestadt, Germany, they embody German engineering, ensuring top-notch quality and durability. The springs provide a discreet lowering effect, reducing the vehicle’s center of gravity subtly to improve performance. The lowering amount is approximately 25-30mm for the front and 20-25mm for the rear. Fitment is confirmed for various Audi A3 and S3 models within the 8V generation, including Hatchback, Saloon, and Sportback body styles, across a range of model years from 2012 to 2020, with varying horsepower outputs from 280hp to 310hp. Specific compatible models include A3 (8V1, 8VK) S3 quattro, A3 Saloon (8VS, 8VM) S3 quattro, and A3 Sportback (8VA, 8VF) S3 quattro. These springs come with ABE certification (valid in Germany) or part approval, ensuring compliance and safety.
