The AST Lowering Springs for the 2012+ Audi A3 (8VS/8VA) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. Each spring undergoes a cold winding process followed by heat treatment to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses. Additional manufacturing steps include shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating, ensuring durability that surpasses the vehicle's lifespan. Featuring progressive rates on most applications, these springs provide a balanced ride quality with improved cornering and reduced body roll, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for the 2012-2016 Audi A3 models, these springs are compatible with vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC). They serve as a direct replacement for stock springs, lowering the ride height by approximately 40mm to give the car a more aggressive stance. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension upgrades, and the kit includes the necessary springs for both front and rear. Suitable for street and spirited driving, these lowering springs are an excellent upgrade for improved handling, aesthetics, and a more engaging driving experience on daily commutes or weekend drives.
