dannyg Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hey guys I'm new to this as I have bought an Audi A3 2.0 tdi 2004 8p just woundering on lowering it as it look right high on back end I'm looking at eibach 40mm-50mm but it says 1.6 tdi 1.9 tdi but no 2.0tdi does it matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Looking on their site it looks like they do a 30mm pro kit for it? Can't see a 40 to 50mm though that's quite a drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 My Audi sits really high and I don't know why that's why I'm lowering it at much I see a3 like mine and they sit nice but mines like a monster truck lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 That does look quite high to be honest. Can you post another photo from the side on? Perhaps someone has changed the wheels at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Sorry I can't I've got them springs and lowered it but this is it lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That does look much better to be honest - scraped it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 No lol I am suprised to be honest it handles loads better and still a comfy ride I had a golf before this and the amount of time I smashed my anniversary kit was unreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sounds like a worthwhile upgrade then! Any other plans for the car at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slameda3quottro Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Coilovers r much better then springs in my experience.there really cheep now adays as well, you can pick them up for 250 300 brand new, you can adjust them up and down with a special spanner so it's easy to set up and get a perfect stance, you can go pretty damn low as well obv its going to depend on what size wheels you have but IV fitted them to evry car I've Eva had. IV had my a3 a few months now and will b fitting ASAP, how hard off a job is it to fit them to the a3 anyone know? If fitted coilovers to a fair few different cars now just want to know the crak b for hand coz if it's a real pain in the !Removed! then I'll just pay to get them on........

James Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not fitted any myself but I can't see it being much more challenging than anything else - it should be the same principle if you've done it before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 do you know what these cars are like remapped or will I just start having problems ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You will be fine as long as you get it done by someone reputable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
