Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs – Audi A3 / Seat Leon / Skoda Octavia
The Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs kit is designed for drivers who want a sharper, more controlled feel from their Audi A3 8V/8Y, Seat Leon 5F or Skoda Octavia III without making the car harsh or awkward to use every day.
These springs lower the car’s centre of gravity, which helps reduce body roll in corners and makes the car feel more stable at speed. Turn-in becomes more direct, and the car feels more planted when changing lanes, braking hard or pushing on along a B-road.
Matched to quality dampers, Sportline springs offer a firmer, sportier ride while still keeping comfort at a sensible level for daily driving and motorway use.
- Lower stance for a sportier, more purposeful look
- Improved cornering grip and reduced body roll
- More confidence under braking and quick direction changes
- Designed to work with factory or upgraded dampers
Important: For front-wheel drive cars with a rear live axle and without factory self-levelling suspension. Not suitable for 4WD models.
