This AP kit is fully height adjustable for the front and rear. The springs mount on seats which can be wound up or down the damper body to achieve a lowering anywhere between 35mm and 65mm at the front and rear. The AP damper bodies are bright zinc plated and feature uprated gas assisted internals. The damper settings are non-adjustable and have been pre-set to work in harmony with the 2.25” diameter uprated AP springs. What’s included? This kit includes four pre-set gas assisted dampers with bright zinc plated bodies matched with four 2.25” diameter uprated AP springs. A special adjusting spanner is also included (required for adjusting the spring seats). The handling This AP kit features pre-set damping which has been engineered to give a firmer, sporty character whilst retaining the suppleness required for road use. The ride height is fully adjustable and can be set up to suit your taste. Reduced ride height will reduce body roll and allow faster cornering. This kit will fit… This AP kit is suitable for all 2-wheel-drive Audi A3 models manufactured from 2003. This model has a chassis code/body type known as 8P. PLEASE NOTE Lowering a vehicle by 50mm or more may, under certain circumstances, cause tyre/arch clearance problems. As with all suspension kits it may be necessary to fit spacers/shims behind the wheels for a little added clearance. This depends greatly on the wheel/tyre sizes being used. Choosing the right option You will need to establish the front axel weight & damper size of your car before selecting from the list below. The axel weight is printed on a label inside the vehicles engine compartment or door shut. The size of the front damper is easily established by measuring the damper just above the point where it clamps into the front stub axel. Wrap a measuring tape around the damper body; you will either get a measurement of 156mm or 172mm. If your damper measures 156mm order a 'thin tube' option. If your dampers measure 172mm order a 'thick tube' option. If in doubt please contact our sales team.
