Audi A3 (2012-2015) 8V Type 5 Air Suspension

Take your build to the next level with Function and Form’s a3 8v air suspension, engineered for the 2012–2015 Audi A3 8V chassis. Designed with our advanced Type 5 air struts, this system gives you full ride height adjustability while maintaining a balance of comfort, performance, and style. Whether your Audi is a daily driver, a show car, or a performance project, these struts deliver the adaptability and reliability you need.

The Audi A3 8V is a modern compact that combines German refinement with everyday practicality, but the stock suspension limits customization. Traditional lowering solutions like coilovers and springs provide a static drop but sacrifice comfort and flexibility. With Function and Form’s Type 5 struts, you can lower your A3 for a show-stopping stance or raise it back up to clear speed bumps, steep driveways, and rougher roads. This versatility makes a3 8v air suspension the ideal upgrade for drivers who want the best of both style and drivability.

Each strut is built with a durable double-bellow air bag, designed to provide both load support and a smooth ride quality. Precision-machined mounts ensure a direct bolt-on fit to the A3 8V chassis, while a corrosion-resistant finish protects against wear and weather. Engineered for daily reliability and performance, these struts give you the freedom to tailor your ride to any situation.

The system works seamlessly with leading air management solutions such as Air Lift 3P and 3H. With these controllers, you can save and recall ride height presets, monitor pressures, and make real-time adjustments from a handheld controller or smartphone app. Pair your Type 5 struts with a VIAIR compressor and tank setup to create a complete air ride system that looks as good as it performs.
