H&R launches lowering springs for the Audi A1 Sportback

The Audi A1 Sportback, while certainly a nice car in and of itself, is not without its flaws. On the one hand, it is a premium compact car that has few rivals on the market. On the other hand, the Audi seems in no hurry to deliver it in the S performance trim, or with an AWD system, or at least with a diesel engine… Features that many expect it to have to justify the investment. At least now you may upgrade it with a set of H&R lowering springs and hope that they lend it some of the much-needed sportiness.

After the €227 set is installed, the hatchback drops a further 35 mm to the ground on the front axle and 30 mm on the rear axle (or 30 mm on both axles if you own the 40 TFSI version). This does not just improve the overall appearance of the Sportback, but also makes it more stable during fast, sharp turns.

H&R additionally recommends purchasing Trak+ wheel spacers (€45) to fine-tune the wheel positions in their arches.

All components are made in Germany and come with all the necessary QA certificates.
