Eibach Pro-Street-S Coilovers for Audi TT 8N3 25-55mm Drop quattro 1.8 T quattro (1998-2006) – 25-55 mm Lower, TÜV Approved
This Eibach Pro-Street-S kit replaces the standard springs and dampers on the Audi TT 8N3 (1998-2006) with a height-adjustable coilover set. It lowers the car by approx. 25-55 mm, which sharpens the steering, cuts body roll and closes up the wheel arch gap. Ride height is set on threaded coilover struts at both ends of the car, so front and rear can be set independently.
The Pro-Street-S uses stainless steel dampers with the damping pre-set by Eibach to suit the springs, which are developed from Eibach's ERS motorsport spring range. The spring seats are made from a polyamide composite, so they will not seize to the threads and the ride height can still be adjusted years later. The result is a firm, controlled car that is still comfortable enough to use every day.
Eibach makes more than one kit for the Audi TT 8N3. This one is for 1.8 T quattro with 1040kg front and 900kg rear max axle load. Check the Fitment section below before ordering.

Installation
Fitting means removing the original struts, springs and dampers and fitting the Eibach units in their place. We recommend a qualified workshop. A spring compressor is needed to strip down the original front struts. Set the ride height with the wheels off the ground, never use an impact gun on the damper piston rod nut, and torque everything to the manufacturer's figures. A four-wheel alignment is required once the car is at its final ride height. Re-check the height and alignment after the first few hundred miles, once the springs have settled.
Before you start:
- Some fitments need extra original manufacturer parts to complete the installation. Check the fitting instructions for your car before booking the work in.
- On the original wheel sizes, wheel spacers may be needed to keep enough clearance.
Will this fit my Audi TT 8N3?
It fits the Audi TT 8N3 (1998-2006) with 1.8 T quattro. Check the Fitment section for the exclusions, or use our number plate lookup.
How low will it sit?
Eibach quotes approx. 25-55 mm lower than standard. The exact drop varies from car to car with engine, equipment and tolerances.
Can I adjust the damping?
No, the damping is pre-set by Eibach to suit the springs, so there is nothing to set up. You only adjust the ride height. If you want adjustable damping, look at the Eibach Pro-Street-Multi.
Do I need an alignment after fitting?
Yes. Eibach requires a full four-wheel alignment once the car is set at its final ride height, and another check after the springs have settled.
Is it road legal in the UK?
Yes. It comes with a TÜV components certificate. Keep the ride height within Eibach's quoted range and tell your insurer about the modification.
Will my standard wheels fit?
On the original wheel sizes, Eibach says wheel spacers may be needed to keep enough clearance. Aftermarket wheels should be checked for clearance at your chosen ride height.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes, Eibach covers it against defects in materials and workmanship. If a part ever needs replacing, contact us with your vehicle details and order number.
