Upgraded Suspension

[JustinDanger]

I recently acquired this car, and as with all of the vehicles I have owned, I just had to get my hands dirty doing something. I opted for the first upgrade to be the suspension. After some research, I decided to go with Bilstein B8 shocks and Eibach Pro springs. The install took about 4 hours, and the results rock! The ride is now super sporty and confident and has a nice look to it to boot.

Here is a before:


Took a couple picks once the parts were in to show what they were:




And here is the result, sorry not the same angle, but the same parking garage:

Hi Justin
I think we got our A3 etrons about the same time. My car is also a 2018 Premium Plus with Sport Package which i purchased at the end of August. I am very happy you like the way your car looks and rides with the Eibach Springs. That stance is too low for me because our roads are bad where I live and it would make impact with potholes! So, i got the coilovers instead so i could set it to ride a bit higher. Isn't it great that we have 2 options for our rare cars!
What rims are those? I like the way they look on your car!
What are the next mods you have planned?

@Kmatt it lowered a lot more than I expected, I now get the fender overlapping the tires. There is no rubbing, but I'm not a fan of the look so much.

@CarMark they are the stock Audi wheels for the Sport package I believe. I haven't been able to find any info about them, but have seen them on occasion on some.

I do have problems with some train tracks and bad potholes with things bottoming out. What coilovers did you go with and were they just plug and play?

If I went coilover and eliminated my fender overlap I would start looking at new wheels again, but I'm not super keen on the options with the narrow reatriction of offset that I have to work with right now.
Other than that, I am actually super happy with things the way they are. I had looked into a new exhaust system and new rear diffuser with dual exhaust outlets and stuff like that, but sheit, it is a hybrid hahaha.
