Audi A3 | S3 | RS3 (8V) with coilover suspension

The Audi A3 8V, produced from 2012 to 2020, stands out with its sporty design, modern technology, and a wide range of engines. The high-performance S3 and RS3 models take things to the next level with their Quattro all-wheel drive and turbocharged engines. While the A3 is a versatile compact car, the S3 offers a more dynamic setup, and the RS3 impresses with its iconic 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, delivering up to 400 hp.

A coilover suspension significantly enhances the road handling of all A3 8V models. The adjustable lowering allows you to optimize both the aesthetics and driving dynamics of your vehicle. Especially for sporty models like the S3 and RS3, handling benefits greatly – resulting in more precise steering and increased stability at high speeds. Compared to a traditional sport suspension, a height-adjustable suspension gives you the flexibility to modify the ride height to your preferences. For example, you can lower the RS3 for a more aggressive look, while keeping a more street-friendly setup on the A3 8V.
