In 2015, Mercedes gave the A-Class of the 176 series a facelift. New surface structures in the interior, an 8-inch display, optional full-LED headlights, a new taillight graphic and an angular front bumper: these are just some of the features that have changed. What has remained is the somewhat long-legged appearance ex works. But the suspension professionals at H&R are now counteracting this. With sport springs, you give the various models of the Stuttgart compact a significantly more dynamic look. It does not matter whether the A-Class is equipped with front-wheel drive or (like the A220 4-Matic) with all-wheel drive - each copy of the W176 is given a sportier look with the springs. Of course, H&R has carefully matched its sport springs to the combination with the standard dampers.

The result is a center of gravity that is about 30 millimeters lower than that of the production model. This not only ensures a particularly confident appearance. Rather, the deeper focus also gives the Stuttgart more dynamism. From now on there is no more "air" than necessary between the wheels and the edges of the wheel arches, and the spring characteristics, in combination with the lower position of the body, ensure a significant increase in driving pleasure. The spring kit for the A-Class comes, as is usual with H&R, with a parts certificate. If you are looking for even more individuality, you can equip the “little Benz” with “Trak +” wheel spacers, which ensure a sporty alignment of the standard or retrofit wheels on the wheel arch edges. The wheel spacers are available in different dimensions.
