This product is a set of Eibach Sportline lowering springs for Audi A3 8Y and VW Golf 8 R 4Motion, aimed at improving handling, grip and stance while remaining usable on the road. They replace the factory springs to drop the car’s centre of gravity, which helps reduce body roll in corners and gives the car a more focused feel.
These springs are designed to work with the car’s original dampers, giving a firmer, more controlled ride without making everyday driving unbearable when everything is in good condition.
