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 selected for their strength and consistency by AST engineers. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. The progressive rate design on most vehicles provides a balanced ride quality, enhancing stability during cornering and reducing body roll, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking both performance and style.

These lowering springs are specifically engineered for the 2012-2018 Audi A3 8V models, compatible with manual transmission variants. They are designed as direct replacements for the factory springs, offering a 40mm drop to lower the vehicle's stance. The springs are EDC compatible, allowing for integration with the vehicle’s electronic damping control system. Installation involves replacing the stock springs with these performance upgrades, providing improved handling characteristics for street and spirited driving. The kit includes the necessary springs and mounting hardware, ensuring a straightforward upgrade for those looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance and appearance.
