Eibach Pro-Street-S Coilover Kit Audi A4 B8 & A5 8T/8F

The Eibach Pro-Street-S coilover kit is a complete height-adjustable suspension upgrade for your Audi A4 B8 or A5 8T/8F. It replaces the standard springs and dampers with matched coilovers that give you sharper handling and a cleaner, more purposeful stance.

Ride height is adjustable at the front via threaded struts, and at the rear via a separate height adjuster. This lets you set the car lower and more controlled, while still keeping it comfortable enough for daily driving.

Key benefits

  • Improved cornering grip and stability
  • More direct, confidence-inspiring steering feel
  • Adjustable ride height for a tailored stance
  • Sportier, controlled ride without going overly stiff
  • Quality Eibach engineering for consistent performance

Note: On cars with factory electronic damper control, this function will be disabled once the kit is fitted. A dealer can reprogram the system, or you can use a Pro-Tronic kit if available for your vehicle to avoid dashboard warning lights. Wheel spacers and additional OE parts may be required on some setups.

Manufacturer Notes

  • For vehicles without levelling control.
  • Front axle height adjustable by threaded strut, rear axle by height adjustable unit.
  • In order to ensure sufficient clearance it may be necessary to use wheel spacers if the car is equipped with original wheel sizes.
  • In some cases additional OE-Parts for the installation of the suspension componends are required. Therefore please take a look at the corresponding technical documents which are available on our website.
  • Once the suspension kit is installed the electronic damper control will not be available anymore. You will see a trouble code. This can be re-programed by an official garage/dealership. If available for your vehicle, we recommend to use Pro-Tronic to avoid the trouble code.
  • If replacement required: You will find the components in the Components Certificate at the point “Amendment of the vehicle documents”. The Components Certificate can be downloaded on: www.eibach.com – click on British flag – Online Catalog / Product & Components Certificate Search (RED BUTTON)

Stock at Progressive Parts

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.

What do our stock statuses mean?

1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).

LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.

0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.

MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.

0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.

OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.

We're tuners too!

Our staff are car enthusiasts, we understand the need for speed... This includes getting your orders out the door as quickly and securely as possible!

In some instances, extended lead times are unavoidable. This is as labour-intensive and frustrating for us as it is for you, please know we are doing our best to facilitate your modification goals. Abuse of our staff or systems will not be tolerated.

Thank you, Team PP

In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".

For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.

Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.

Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
