Collection: Audi A3 8V Suspension Parts

Suspension parts for the 8V-generation Audi A3, built 2012 to 2020. Covers the 8V1 three-door, 8VA Sportback, 8V7 cabriolet and the saloon, all on the MQB platform shared with the Golf Mk7 and Leon 5F.

How to choose

The Bilstein B4 is the OE-equivalent replacement for a worn car at standard ride height. B6 sharpens damping without changing height. B8 is the shortened damper intended for cars already on lowering springs — fitting a B8 to a standard-height A3 will not work correctly. B12 supplies dampers and matched springs together.

Front-wheel-drive and quattro cars take different rear suspension, and S3 models differ again — confirm the drivetrain as well as the chassis code before ordering.
