Just wanted to come on here and say that with my A3, I use your videos as the de facto reference material for mods I plan on doing. Not only are you straight forward, you have a very chill demeanor which is fantastic compared to some of the other CZcamsrs with over the top intros and loud obnoxious personalities. The information you show is very concise and you never leave a detail out. You don't hype any particular brand and you stick with what you know.
This is the right way to present information and I really appreciate it. I bought my H&R Sports just a couple weeks ago and have been waiting to find time to actually do them. It wasn't until you posted this update video that I was sold on them because this is just proof enough of the results. Once again man, awesome freaking video, love how the car has been turning out over these months and I'm glad to be apart of that journey!
Brandon, wow man that's probably the nicest comment anyone has left on here. That is very kind of you sir! Thank you for the positive feedback and checking out the videos! I'm glad to help out my fellow enthusiasts of the car community. Have fun with the car and please let me know if you need anything.
I ran those for the last 3 months i love the new look !
Just got my A3 booked to get these installed. Loved the vid thorough explanation
Nice man glad it was helpful
Just bought Eibach pro kits for my mk7.5 Gti! Can’t wait to see how they look. Also, sweet A3 man! Just earned a new sub
Awesome! Thank you!
I run with Eibach Sport springs with Bilstein B8 shocks and strut. Stiff enough but with comfort, handles well, and it is very compliant on the road even with the rear sway bars. Yeah I forked over more money with the Bilstein but overall, I'm happy with it.
Great video, i just got my Megan racing lowering springs installed on my A3 and I’m digging the stance of the car now... just need a more aggressive look at the front
Thanks for checking out the video! Good deal 👍
I bought some oem replacement prebuilt suspension from 1A auto about a year or so ago and I just bought today the H&R sport springs definitely excited to install as soon as they come in
Awesome man! Very exciting
I've been trying to decide on Sport or SS for a few weeks now. Thanks for the video. If my 2018 A3 Premium will have the ride height of yours in the video..I'll be happy with the Sports.
Great videos and content! I´m about to install an Eibach Pro-Kit Coilovers (moderate 25-30mm) in my VW T-Roc 2.0 TSI 4Motion 250 HP by MTM because of my recent experience with both of my earlier VW Golf VI and VII GTD´s. My T-Roc is currently equipped with VW OEM Sport Coilovers and DCC which is ok but I need some better handling qualities
Thanks for checking out the video! Sounds like an exciting Upgrade 🙂
I am running Ohlins R&T coilovers in my 2017 A3 Quattro IS38. They are amazing
Ah very nice choice! Must ride great 😃
Along with the coilovers I am also running:
Ground Control Camber Plates
SuperPro 24mm Rear Sway Bar + End Links
SuperPro 26mm Front Sway Bar + End Links
SuperPro Engine Mount Kit
SuperPro Rear Trailing Arm Bushings
SuperPro Alloy Control Arm Kit
Unibrace UBQ + XBQ
034 Motorsport Street Density Rear Strut Mounts
TyrolSport DeadSet Rigid Subframe Kit Front & Rear
@@jamesperks9495 wow man that is a serious build!!! Well done 👍
@@savagepandaprojects Thanks man! I've had the setup in for about a year now and couldn't be happier. I was running the H&R sport springs for a while but started having issues with noise from the front strut mount/strut. Decided at that point to go full coilover setup and I love it
@@jamesperks9495 yeah man that car must handle great! Well done sir!
Just received mines today I'm installing next week at the garage, I really hope will not rub.... 🙁
Hey bro, do you have any recommendations for rear brake kits for this car? I have the same color and car just the non S-line spec, love the progress on yours 💪🏾
Thanks for the kind words! For the rear brakes there are really not many options out there. Have you already upgraded the front? That is where I would start first
@@savagepandaprojects planning on doing the same ecs bbk you had installed a while back on the front, didnt find a rear brake kit but stoptech makes a drilled rotor and break pad set that i think i might go with!
@@Toyheartz nice upgrade! You'll be really happy with that 🙂
The wheels look pretty flush with the fender! What size spacers are you running?
No spacers! 😀
Cześć mogę wiedzieć o ile obniżają te sprężyny -40 czy może -30 chciałem takie do swojej a4 ale żeby nie było za nisko pozdrawiam z Polski i proszę o pomoc 🚘🚘🚘🚘
Nice Video... I am about to have abt lowering springs 0.9 in front 0.8 rear which I believe are rebranded H&R. Also got the Abt anti roll bar kit which I believe is rebranded H&R. Just using as my daily ..based the suspension off the Abt TTRS-R model. Thx about the aftermarket strut ? ... I'm thinking of sticking with the springs for a year or two. Car is 3 years old with 17k miles... Springs to be installed soon .. will get back to you with thoughts
Can't go wrong with ABT great products! Sounds like a nice choice.
Just curious what are the size of your wheels? I do like the way it sits with the h&r sport springs
19x8.5 ET35
Coilovers dilemma: $500 solo werks vs $1000 B14 (FCP Euro lifetime warranty). What would you choose?
Get the B14s man. Buy once cry once as they say!
I just picked up a 17 A3 and was torn between h&r sports vs ss. Thought the car has 38k miles on it. I do plan for air ride way down the line and wonder if the sports would be alright on my stock 38k suspension while I wait to save for bags. Lmk what you think!
I would go regular sports. SS will just kill your shocks even faster.
Is it worth for a rsq3 2017 performance 8u?
I literally got a set of H & R installed yesterday on my 16 A3 premium and it looks great. But do you think it’s ok if I wait until the springs settle before getting an alignment? I just wanna cut cost as best as possible😂.
Congratulations man! Yes I would say that would be completely fine. Have fun 👍
Older post but for those getting a lowering spring, wait for a week and drive it around for it to settle before doing an alignment. 👍
@@flipgurujn I think that's what I ended up doing. But I got three alignments done. Did one at a little shop just to make sure the car isn't too off. The second one I did I brought it to Audi (which was a waste of money). The third one, my car was rear ended and I took it to Audi to fix it and they did the alignment as a complimentary job.
Are they 20mm or 30mm springs? Thanks
What year is your front bumper/A3? Thank you!
its a 2016 A3 premium plus s line
Hey pal. Just wanna ask if you’ve used H&R 40 mm or 30 mm. I really wanna used one for my A3 Sline.but I don’t want slammed. Im gonna copy your ride height.
These were the sport Springs so not as much drop as the super sports. I don't know what that equates to in mm but hope that helps!
Just picked up a set of bilstein b8 sport struts for my 2007rs4 130 thousand miles will the stock springs wrk with this setup
Should work well. B8 style shocks are typically designed for lowering springs
I need the S line front bumper bro 😓☹️ i have a ‘15 A3 Quattro premium plus... need a more aggressive look
Yes! It does make a difference in appearance!
@@savagepandaprojects know of any place that might have some?
@@iandresSc not sure about that... Maybe from the dealership but that could get really expensive with painting etc
How much was the install to put on the springs?
About 6 hrs plus alignment
When should you get alignment? Im getting super sports installed in the next two weeks. I have heard you should get them after 2 weeks because the car will be settled. Im new to this So I thought I asked !
I would do it same time of the spring install then re check after settling if needed
Did you have to align your car after you installed the springs?
Yes always important to align the car afterwards
@@savagepandaprojects one more question have you ever had issues with wheelspin when flooring the car? I also have a 2.0t and whenever I floor it the tires seem to spin more than they should.
@@jakeparisi4128 nope no issues. You should not be spinning, you may have issues with your haldex pump.
Is maybe Eibach Pro Kit better choice? I heard that they are more comfort vs H&R. True?
It's subjective like anything but would likely accomplish the same thing! Thx
I have a Q5 and would like to lower it just a bit, but don’t want sacrifice comfort. The stock suspension on Q5 is already stiff enough, maybe too stiff. Also thinking of Eibach. What do you think?
Visually I saw that both Eibach and HnR have more spins in the spring, which should theoretically mean they are longer rods and hence softer, but there are also materials hardness and rod thickness that also affect the stiffness
@@savagepandaprojectshave tried in real life 2 same cars. Eibach much more comfy than H&R. But H&R was slightly lower
@@mmaciucaH&R was alwys more stiff
Thanks guys but maybe a second opinion here? Here is the specs found i tech data for each HR and Eibach front/rear:
-Wire diam HR 16/13mm - Eibach 16.25/13.75
-coils HR 7/9.4 - Eibach 6.5/8
-untensioned length HR 285/325mm - Eibach 281/328mm
-ext diameter HR 144/121mm - Eibach 141/125
-lowering HR 40mm - Eibach 30/25mm
So by all specs HR has thinner wire, more twists, larger external diameter, longer untentioned, compresses more. So it seems it should be slightly softer than Eibach?
I have the bilstein b14 and they good but not for here, "puerto Rico " here it's best to do just springs, NO COILOVERS!
Totally Understandable!! Both upgrades have their place! 😃
Yea i have a 2014 a7 i was thinking coil overs but i dont really need that i just want a little drop not too extreme .
What about solo werks
Don't recommend them.
