Hey guys, does it matter if you have mag ride when fitting lowering springs, only looking at 15-20mm h&r`s just curious if the car will reconise something different and throw up a light.
Thank you
Thank you
Lowering a car on mag ride
- Thread starter mike price
- Start date
Mines running Eibach Sportlines with mag ride think it was a 25mm drop front and 20mm rear.
No lights but lots of talk on forums if the mag ride height of fender eyebrow from ground can be adjusted as it appears in VCDS but no one has been successful so far - could be a dealer system adjustment only but not really needed as far as my experience with the car can tell.

Not looking to lower yet but the car feels mighty high after running lowered cars for 10 years.
Would be great to know how it does affect the dampers if at all before I take the plunge

And does the mag ride appear to work as normal?
How do you find speed humps and clearance on kerbs when parking etc?
I think I'll just do it anyway tbh using H&R's as they've always been my springs of choice

After searching regarding lowering springs, they appear to be the usual choice. I think I'll go with them myself. Am I correct in believing they will only invalidate suspension warranty?
Correct but then you can't alter the suspension and then expect them to warranty anything connected, so it's fair play really

Found them cheaper in the UK:
https://www.fr-rtuning-shop.co.uk/h-r-lowering-springs-for-audi-a3-s3-8v-quattro-with-mag-ride.html
-25mm.. not sure how this would look with 19" BE alloys.. maybe a little too low?

I'm planning to put H&R Sport springs once my FL S3 saloon gets here. I have Mag ride and from my search I can tell that most of owners are happy with the end results using it with MG.
I have also consulted with local Pfaff Tuning shop which is rated one of the best in Ontario and actually services Lambos, P cars, F Cars etc.. They confirmed that I'm good to go.
I also read some concerns that with H&R Sport and Super Sport springs the rear can become a bit stiff.

There are some on ebay under £200
Don't be silly lol, it'll look great with some spacers on too!

Didn't go for the 28810-1?Whoops, they've been taking bets at work and I've just lost haha
I don't think there is a definitive answer on which spring is correct tbh apart from 28810 is the later one, however that is now superseded.
The box says with MRC so that's good enough for me
