The 2023 Audi S3 is a compact luxury sports sedan that combines impressive performance, innovative technology and sleek styling. Its the 4th Generation (8Y) in the S3/RS3 lineup and is an evolution to the previous model, with updates to the exterior design, interior features and performance capabilities
The 8Y Audi S3/RS3 has been updated to feature a new single-frame grille, more aggressive air intakes and redesigned headlights, the rear of the car has an all new diffuser and quad exhaust tips which further emphasises the cars sporty character.
This 8Y Audi S3 has had a set of BC Forged KL11 wheels fitted. These BC Forged KL11 forged rims are finished in matte black and are made from one piece 6061-T6 Forged Aluminium. The forging process makes these BC Forged KL11’s stronger, more durable and more resistant to corrosion and oxidisation, not to mention the wheels structural integrity is not compromised.
This Audi S3 (8Y) also sports a Maxton accent kit which changed the look and feel of the car completely. Starting off with the Maxton front splitter V4 and followed up by Maxton side skrits and Maxton rear side splitters. The exhaust tips were also powder coated in gloss black, this helped with tying them into the black and white theme. The proceeding to lower it on Eibach lowering springs to give it a more aggressive and squatted look.
Eibach is a German company that has been in the business of producing high quality suspension components for over 70 years. Eibach is known for their expertise in the in the field of suspension tuning and have developed a reputation for producing some of the best suspension components on the market today.
The process of developing Eibach lowering springs is a complex one that involves a great deal of research and testing. Before any product is released to the market, Eibach puts it through a rigorous testing to ensure that their products meet their strict quality standards. This testing process includes both computer simulations and real world.
Computer simulations are used to model the behaviour of the suspension system and predict how it will perform in different driving scenarios. This includes a cycle tester, a machine that is specifically designed to repeatedly compress the springs. In addition, Eibach utilises a device called the Spintron, which is an electrically driven V8 motor with limited internals. The Spintron can simulate several engine environments and is used to test the durability and performance of the springs.
Real world testing involves installing the springs on a vehicle and testing them in a variety of driving conditions. This includes on the street, track and in an array of weather conditions. The purpose of this testing is to evaluate the the performance of the springs in real world conditions and to identify and potential issues that need to be addressed.
Once the testing is complete, Eibach uses the data gathered from both computer simulations and real world testing to refine the design of the springs. This process may involve making changes to the materials used, the shape of the spring, or the spring rate to advance the performance of the product
The result of this research and development process is a product designed to provide optimal performance, handling, and comfort. Eibach lowering springs are engineered to be a direct replacement for your Audi S3 or RS3’s factory springs, which means means they require no modifications to your suspension system.
In summary, the amount of research and development that goes into producing Eibach lowering springs is significant. Eibachs commitment to quality and performance is evident from in the rigorous testing process that each product undergoes before its released to the market. If you’re looking to upgrade your Audi’s suspension system, Eibach lowering springs are an excellent choice.
