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. Where BC Racing separates itself is tuning philosophy: every off-the-shelf spring rate and damper setup is chosen to stay comfortable on daily roads while still delivering real performance at the track. If you want something different, Swift Springs, custom rates, and custom valving are all options at checkout — BC will match the valving of the dampers to whatever springs you pick, something most brands don't offer outside their flagship race lineup.
BC Racing's reputation in the aftermarket suspension world is built on four things: competitive pricing that beats the rest of the fully-adjustable market, customization depth that rivals the top-tier race brands, long-term reliability earned over 20 years of production, and a rebuildable design that keeps the same set of dampers serving you through multiple builds. 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.
