Product Details
BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for the 2005-2012 Audi A3 Sportback (8P) are BC Racing's entry-level coilover and the most popular kit in their entire lineup — they offer the most accessible entry into adjustable coilover suspension without sacrificing performance, comfort, build quality, or handling. Every kit is extensively tested on the 8P chassis and refined until it balances ride quality with performance — the reason A3 Sportback coilovers from BC Racing are the best-selling adjustable kits in their segment worldwide.
Every BR Series kit is built around a mono-tube damper with simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment at every corner — a wide damping range without the complexity of a race-only setup. Ride height is fully adjustable independent of spring preload, so you set the stance and the ride separately. The off-the-shelf setup from BC Racing is deliberately balanced — spring rates and valving chosen so the kit feels comfortable day-to-day without giving up performance when you push it. Drivers who want a different recipe can spec Swift Springs, custom spring rates, or fully custom valving at checkout; BC will tune the dampers to match, which is a depth of customization most brands only offer on their top-tier kits.
BC Racing has been manufacturing adjustable coilovers since 2004 and is one of the most popular coilover brands in the automotive tuning industry for a reason: competitive pricing, deep customization, proven reliability, and a fully rebuildable damper design that lasts years instead of seasons. These A3 Sportback coilovers arrive tuned for the 8P chassis and ready to bolt in — no break-in period, no guessing at setup. Every kit ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, lifetime access to BC service parts (pistons, seals, shafts — no unit replacement required when it's time for a rebuild), and in-house tech support from both BC Racing and the Springrates team.
