Function and Form AUDI A3 8L (96-03) Type 4 Coilovers Kit
$1,780.00
Fits: 1996-2003 Audi A3.
This Function & Form Type 4 coilover kit (part number 45100396) is made for the Audi A3 8L. Listed fitment is the 1996-2003 Audi A3. It is a height-adjustable coilover set from F2 Function & Form.
Type 4 kits come from the F2 range that covers VW, Audi and beyond, using the same formula across the line. Each kit is built to order for a specific chassis, so this one is made for the 8L A3 rather than being a universal set. Fitting coilovers like these is how you take control of your ride height.
Lead times apply because it is built to order. Look at the chassis listing for details and choose your vehicle on the page to confirm fit. Or call 813-535-5801 and we will help you place the right F2 tier for your build.

Function and Form AUDI A3 8L (96-03) Type 4 Coilovers Kit FAQ
It is listed for: 1996-2003 Audi A3. Pick your vehicle on this page to check your exact year and trim.
Ride height is set on the threaded body or the lower mount, and the damping (how firm the shock feels) with the adjuster when the kit has one. Some kits also let you set spring preload and camber at the top mount. The Part details above list what this exact kit adjusts.
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe, so have the car aligned once the height is set and the suspension has settled after a short drive.
Set all four corners before the alignment, keep the drop inside the maker's range, and re-check the height after the first drive because the springs settle. Going lower than the maker recommends costs ride quality and tire life.
The car settles a little over the first few drives. After that, re-check the ride height, the lock rings on the collars and the top-mount hardware, then get the alignment done.
Yes. Most coilovers are built for daily use when set to the maker's recommended height and a softer damping setting. Track-focused series ride firmer.
Yes — monthly options show right under the Add to Cart button. Affirm, Klarna, PayPal Pay Later and Snap Finance are offered at checkout, and checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

Install and care: coilovers
Before you start
- Read the maker's guide and note the recommended ride-height range for your car.
- Book an alignment for after the install; the car needs one.
Do
- Set all four corners to the same drop before the alignment and re-check the height after the first drive.
- Keep the threads clean and lightly lubricated so the collars still turn next season.
Don't
- Don't go lower than the maker's range; it costs ride quality and tire life.
- Don't skip the alignment.
