The AST 30mm F&R Lowering Springs for the Audi A3 8V (2012-2018) are high-quality suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully selected by AST engineers for their durability and metal consistency. Each spring undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and shot peening for fatigue resistance. The springs are phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs provide a smoother ride while lowering the vehicle's stance by approximately 30mm, enhancing both performance and appearance.

Designed specifically for 2012-2018 Audi A3 models with manual transmissions, these springs are compatible with vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC). They serve as a direct replacement upgrade to factory springs, offering improved handling, reduced body roll, and a more aggressive stance. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension work, and the kit includes both front and rear springs. Suitable for street and spirited driving, these lowering springs are ideal for enthusiasts seeking a balance of performance, durability, and visual enhancement without compromising ride quality.
