- QUICK DIY How to install: Audi S3 Lowering Springs (APR) [Project: BluBae]
Hi All!
Thanks for coming by today! Sorry for the delay in posting a video!!! Its not from lack of trying, I have been so busy moving the RSTi to a cage shop, the electrician wiring my garage, and LIFE!!! :-)
THANK YOU FOR THE CONTINUED SUPPORT! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Today we are going to be installing Audi S3 Lowering Springs from APR. Now, I know there are other how to videos out there on how to lower your Audi, but I felt they were all long and drawn out. Here is a more concise and to the point how to.
TORQUE SPECS: blogvager.files.wordpress.com...
Next video we are going to be going over brakes! How to keep your brake system, the different types of calipers, what the benefits are of upgraded pads and rotors, and how to do the brakes on the Audi S3.
I hope you enjoy the video today and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

What modification would you like to see next?!
“It looks harder than it looks” oh gosh I praise you for your work sir
Thanks! hope it helps and was entertaining! the next project is going to be so much fun! since the RSTi is not back yet, we are doing a 1948 general electric fridge restore next week! its going to be the shop fridge!
Phoenix Fabrications I cant wait!
That was the best video I've seen on "How to" thus far. Was clear and concise without the fuss. Very nice job!
Great tutorial! Going to be changing springs to my A3 soon as well with the help of your video. :) Thank you!
man you made this look so easy I though you had to get a triple square axle nut and remove the whole spindle. all I needed is a shock observer socket
Very cool!
Thanks man! Really great content! Finally a good S3 how to channel that they guy isn’t acting like an idiot! I now feel more confident that I can do this myself which I am very thankful to you for. I have liked and subscribed and can’t wait for more! I also just sold my Subaru for the S3, so this is a double win for me!
I have LOVED the S3. Great choice in vehicle and I hope you enjoy it. I just got back from Gingerman last weekend, I am going to have a video up on it in the next 48 hours. :) Any mods in particular you want to see done? I am ready to do something new! The track really makes me want to mod it more! Or... buy an RS3. I am torn. Let me know if you want to see a mod! Thanks for the support and have a good one!
The S3 for me is my gateway to the RS3. I already have it planned out and will own an RS3 in about 3 more years. I just picked up the S3 in March and have pretty much left it alone except a Unitronic stage 1+ ECU and Stage 1 DSG tune, with intake, inlet, and res delete. I think I’m going to leave it alone now because I am truly saving my pennies for the RS3 and all the mods needed to take that to Stage 2 as soon as I buy it. The S3 is an absolute blast of a daily driver though and have toyed with the idea of lowering it, but don’t know that I would do much more as I need the resale value to stay up there to help out with the cost of the RS. I’m so pumped! Haha only 3 more years man!!
Nice video.
VERY NICE!
Thank you!!!
That rear control arm needs to be in the right position before tightning the bolts. Loaded whit the car weight, because of the bushing.
The bushings gets twisted to much otherwise
Hi :) Great video! I see the specification book with torque specs are 2006-2010, can I use the torque specs for the same thing you do on my 2017 A3 ? I have mag ride also and everything looks just like yours ?
What size is the hex key you used for the for the sway bar end link?
Those 5 seconds at 3:15 was more like 2 hours😂
1000% typically. I love how lucky I got.
8:00 getting it back in the hardest part lmaoooo wtf
What the size of spring front and back ? 30mm or 40mm
Wonder how similar this may be to the s4? Have a b9.
Hi Great video, i notice no bump stop is fitted to the strut, did you remove it or not needed.
they look like inverted dampers (upsidedown), so generally have internal bumpstops
Do you think the torque spec will apply for 2019 RS3?
Hi good job..I want to upgrade my s3 spring..is your ride better than the original
It's good, but no, it is a little stiffer. Anyone who gets in the car wouldn't know
How’s ride quality? Debating between these an 034s. What made you decide to get these? Hard to find any solid info on them.
I chose these based off what I was told by GRD Tuning, and based off the fact a few others who had them said they were softer that 034. I would have to say I noticed it is stiffer. It feels great. However in the comfort setting it smooths out to about a 15-20% difference compared to OEM. If you have driven an STi it has the feeling of that in corners, but much softer over bumps in dynamic.
Did you have mag ride and if so did you get it recalibrated. Any lights come on since install?
Yes I do have mag ride, I show how to disconnect it. No recalibration was needed. No lights have come on and I have done 20k miles.
@@phoenixfabrications6432 disconnect it?Dont the apr springs work with mag ride. Sorry for the stupid questions
@@mike9474 yes, but you should disconnect it before installing the springs and reconnect when done. I go over this in the video and show you how
Did you get a alignment afterwards?
Yessss :) Very important
No need for mag ride recalibration ?
Nope
In other videos for MQB GTI/GLI, they disconnected the axle shafts from the trans. Is it not necessary to do this? You didn't seem to have any trouble.
I had no issues, however maybe the VW has some other intetference I didnt
@@phoenixfabrications6432
In fwd cars the right driveaxle is longer than the left side.
It interferes whit the swaybar that's why
How many mm
