Which springs ?

[Alan A]

I'm going to lower my A3 tdi s line sportback quattro. The problem is I don't know which springs to go for.
The options are...Eibach -30mm, Direnza -25mm or Pi -25mm.
I think the Eibachs will probably be the better quality but -30mm may be a bit too low.
Any thoughts?
Cheers folks.

S-line is already lowered from factory so you need to take this off any quoted drop. The Eibach Pro springs will give a very subtle drop, anything less than a 30mm drop wouldn't really be worth while doing.

Always worth doing , I've had drops as little as 15mm and 25mm on different cars with big improvements in handling .

I probably worded that wrong - anything less then a 30mm drop, which would be only around a further 10mm lowering on an S-line model, wouldn't really be that noticeable.

So the 25mm springs are out. And presumably the 30mm eibachs will only drop it by 5mm?

Around 10mm with the Eibach Pros.

What springs would you recommend to drop 15mm?

 

[DPM]

The H&R 35mm brings would probably be the best option - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/ca...-fsi-quattro-20tdi-quattro-32-v6-quattro-0803

Well I've bought some H&R -35mm springs and getting them fitted Monday.

I'm going to have a full geometry set up but now much is actually adjustable on a a3 tdi sportback quattro?
