Audi A3 8V Saloon Coilover Install

How to install coilovers on your Audi A3 8V and other similar platforms

[@Dan-l9c]

Awrite mate do you put rubber mount on top rear springs with ajuster or do u install without rubber as does not fit

[@-King-G-]

Did you need to use the spring clamps on the new shock and springs to get them on? I HATE using them

[@andrew_sr]

Luckily with the coil over threads right down you can just about get the top mount of by pressing it down without clamps then thread the collars back up

I'm just about to fit same kit to mine ,how far from bottom of thread on front shock to bottom of lower ring for 60 mm drop ? ProSport say 35-60 mm drop for front and 40-60 mm rear so am I right in thinking that for 60 mm drop on rear to have ring tight to base of perch ? Thanks

[@andrew_sr]

Sorry for late reply bud, the clovers are maxed out to the bottom on the front, rears were brought up slightly to match the front

[@marknewman2187]

Thanks mate👍

Does mk7.5 ultra lows fit on the a3 1.8 8v?

[@andrew_sr]

I'm not completely sure as far as I am aware if it has the independent rear suspension then yes

[@sul5501]

How does the car drive? Does it drive over bumps smooth (like stock)?

[@andrew_sr]

Drives really well slightly stiffer than standard but these coilovers for the price ride really well

[@sul5501]

Can you send me a link to them?

[@andrew_sr]
