S3 Lowering Spings
I am thinking of getting some lowering springs, I have a stock Suspension Audi S3 8P. I have been looking online and the H&R springs appear to be the best option for what I want. which is to sit a bit lower, have some comfort for motorway drives and that, also to handle a bit better with less...r.tapatalk.com
I gave my verdict on the H&R springs there and mentioned about the shocks you'll likely want.
Not sure what @Charlie23 and @abmat are running shocks wise or if they're just on the OEM ones like me, but be prepared for the ride to not be particularly smooth on just H&R springs if your shocks are old. Mine are only on 34k with new top mounts and bearings and the ride isn't brilliant and is a bit crashy especially at high speed on anything but a perfectly flat motorway.
Damien @DPM is the expert on shocks/dampers round here so would definitely seek his opinion on this if you're interested in upgrading more than just the springs. Alot of people recommend the H&R springs with the Billstein B8 shocks, and maybe the H&R anti roll bar(s) and a decent Anti-Lift Kit, especially if you're thinking of upgrading the pe
Hey thanks for that info, appreciate it. I had been doing some reading about this but not real clued up on what it all means.@Amzs38P Have a read of this recent post:

Okay good to know thanks, will keep that in mind, my car has only done 58,000 ks but It is an 09...My H&R springs killed off my dampers & top mounts with in a month but they where original so 10 years old. I Purchased genuine dampers etc from TPS and the ride is perfect, not to much different from standard but i agree on rough surface they are abit crashy but how the car sits, handles and looks im happy with
Hmm, wondering if this is what's happened to mine cos I've had the H&R springs for 12 months now and I don't remember it feeling this harsh and crashy when they were first fitted. Did have new top mounts and bearings fitted at the time and the stock dampers are from 2012 but have only done 34k miles.My H&R springs killed off my dampers & top mounts with in a month but they where original so 10 years old.
