The AST 40mm Front and Rear Lowering Springs for the Audi A3 8V (2012-2018) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness, and shot peening to reduce internal stresses. The powder-coated finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both daily driving and spirited use. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs provide a balanced ride quality while lowering the vehicle's stance for a sportier appearance and improved aerodynamics.

Designed specifically for the 2012-2018 Audi A3 8V models, these springs are compatible with vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC). They serve as a direct replacement for factory springs, offering a straightforward bolt-on installation. The kit includes front and rear springs, ensuring a complete suspension upgrade. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved handling, reduced body roll, and a lowered stance, these springs are suitable for street use and light track days. Proper installation may require alignment adjustments to optimize performance and tire wear.
