- I ruined my Audi s3… but it’s fixed now! Highly recommend these 034 Motorsports lowering springs to anyone with magride. They’re amazing!
Think twice before running an adjustable spring on your own magride struts.

Appreciate the honesty and updates man. Glad you have good things to say about the 034 springs, I had been considering the h&r sport springs which also should do about 0.75" drop
Yes I like to be transparent and honest with this. I chose the wrong setup and I had to deal with it. The 034 springs are fantastic so far amazing and ride like stock possibly even better! I considered h&r too but the difference is h&r uses a progressive spring and 034 uses a linear and oem is linear so I chose to go linear. If not I would have gone h&r super sports which are a more firm but sportier ride. Either way a good choice!
Oh man! Glad I found this follow up video. Based on your previous videos I was all psyched to order a set of GC springs for my GTI with DCC. Dodged a bullet. Ever consider pulling down your vids that endorse GC?
If that company has any sort of dignity they would give you 100% refund. Especially if multiple shops checked it out and made sure it’s installed good but all that happened? That’s so dangerous
We will see. I had 2 shops and an Audi tech look at it and they couldn’t see why it would be bent and all bottomed out the car wasn’t low what so ever.
Hey man, I just installed these springs, after installing them I think I might’ve screwed up one of my wheel speed sensors because I have a bunch of codes after installing these. I’m not saying it’s the springs obviously it’s a electrical issue. Just not sure if you have had this problem before. I have a hill start malfunction, abs malfunction, and stability, malfunction and my steering wheel feels super stiff when first taking off. Any help would be appreciated!
Dang glad you got something on there you enjoy. I run h&r super sport springs with magride on my S3 and absolutely love them. Lowering is perfect and still very comfortable. I also ran h&r sports springs on my Jetta when I had it and it was great on there as well. On the Jetta I switched to the ECS non adjustable dampening coilovers and those were WAY to stiff and harsh, made me really miss the h&r’s lol. I think h&r or 034 are great ways to go when using mag ride. Love the content man, keep it up!
Awesome! I was super close to getting the super sports too I love how low they go my only thing was I know they’re much stiffer than stock and that’s not a bad thing but I wanted a comfy ride as close to stock as possible. Ask me 5 years ago I would have wanted as low as possible but as I get older I appreciate a stock feeling haha. The mag ride is tricky tbh pairing with different springs but I’m happy. I’m glad you like your setup too!
034 products are the best! Glad you’re enjoying the new setup. Dcc and mag ride are tricky. Need to pair them with the right parts
So far so good! I’m gonna stick to 034 for multiple upgrades I have some parts I’m gonna order soon from them to continue the upgrades
Glad you love the new setup. 034 is an amazing company and they always have quality products. Pair your setup right now with a rear sway bar. Your car will feel so different
The springs feel amazing. And from the beginning putting them on I could tell. Car is way more comfortable and takes bumps and dips in the road like stock. Actually one of my next mods is gonna be a rear sway bar 🫣
I have a 2015 Sportback S3 and I just ordered KW V3 coilovers and 034 sway bars. I hope I don’t have any issues, I don’t have the dynamic suspension though.
Hey thanks for sharing, sorry for the nightmare experience. I have 034 springs with Magride and I think one of my front struts is leaking (
So far my ride has been excellent and has improved to be honest after it’s settled more and more. So I really want to run billstein b16s but only reason I didn’t is because then I need to spend another $400 for the cancelers and Idt it’s worth all that you know? Coilovers are obviously the best route but with mag ride makes it a bit more annoying. I’m def getting more 034 products Coming in soon!
@@DArias Do the 034 rear sway bar, by far the best bang for the buck...I did their rear end links, rear subframe inserts, dogbone as well (may do front end links soon) but the RSB was immediately and most noticeable... Yes an extra 4-500 for cancellers is alot of money for what they are. Leaning towards Bilsteins or KW V3, though not racing so may be overkill. The best research is always communicating with someone who's done it!
What could the collar perch be hitting? That looks awful. Is there other damage on the suspension components?
No idea, I haven’t seen damage on any other parts. Everything is good. Springs do not have any sort of damage and the bearings of the suspension are good too. Maybe just harsh bumps bent it or it hit the beating slightly. Not sure man
i'd really like to learn how to try a calibration on my magride
Apparently it really helps but it can only be done with the program ODIS from Audi. Some people claim that it can be done through vcds too but can’t confirm. Basic sly what it does when you lower the car you enter the new ride height in the program and it resets the internal bump stops so it doesn’t bottom out on bumps and basically keeps the car stable
Looks nice i have APR lowering springs on my 17 s3 and rides great but I’ve heard great reviews on 034 parts
Nice man! I’ve also heard good things about Apr springs they were one of my options when looking. A buddy of mine runs them on his rs3
Dude I just bought a 2016 s3 and as far as I know it’s stock suspension with mag ride and the rear end sounds like it’s going to shoot through the roof. What do you think?
Possible you have a bad shock or check the rear and make sure everything is tight first. It’s possible previous owner did suspension then went back to stock before selling
Clunking sound on the rear is normal, they make insert kits that mostly solve the issue, theres also updated oem rear shock mounts
@@itxslowx96z thanks bro! Makes me feel a little better haha
What’s next after the springs? Get some more 034 goodies. Sway bars, links, mounts
Next thing 100% is going to be a rear sway bar from 034
I left my magride stock because suspension is rough on these cars doing from comfort yet sporty to slammed brutal harsh beyond belief ride quality in my friends S3 and another friend did the same thing you did with his R and they all regret it.
That collar is F***ED jeez. Scary
Yeah that got wrecked but stuff happens oh well lol
Looks like a bad design to me. Saw your original video when you put them on and that spring is way to small and too much movement it probably bottomed out on the top hat. They need to refund you. Bad look on them
Not sure entirely. Some people use them with aftermarket struts and they work awesome but idk if pairing it with magride was smart
Horrible this happened to you man. Awful design it seems and annoying situation to be in
It happens. It just wasn’t meant for my setup and I’ve had people on correct setups love their products so it’s just information to think twice if you have a similar setup like me to be careful
Diego do yourself a favor save some money and just get bags then you can set height and it will be a comfortable ride.
Have bagged multiple cars lol this isn’t a car I want to stance
@@DArias I have had bagged cars never have I had the stance look. I meant you can lower it to the same height you have now or a bit more have the look you want and easily air up for bumpy Rhodes or when you think you might rub or scrape.
Glad everything is fixed now. Not into that design they have at all. Their rear design is even strange as f
Everything is great! A few weeks with the 034 springs and they’re still fantastic. They actually feel better after settling more
I got the billisten coilovers on my 2017audis3 for 3 years and the rears are seizes up it's no better
Really? Wow that’s unfortunate.. I was looking at the b16s and almost got them a few months back
