Lowering Springs? Whats The Deal?

[JoKeR23z]

If i lowered my audi a4 98 , would the car look nicer? Cause is it worth the 230 sumtin bucks?

[Randomjim]

Yes. Theres a massive gap on most A4s between the top of the wheel and the arch. If you lower the car about 40mm it will look a lot sportier. You should find it will take corners better too.

Are you on standard wheels?

how much can i lower my car? (on 20"s b6)

[Randomjim]

You may struggle with 20s. You might be able to get around 30mm, depends on the clearance of the wheels. If you get coilovers you can adjust how high/low you want the car. Also because there a more compact system you have more space under the arches for bigger wheels.

All the A4's I have seen this is true for the front suspension; however, the rear has a separate spring located in-board and down away from the shock, so any coilover will be much larger than just the standard shock and will not fit as large a wheel/tire.

And did I mention, I really do prefer the coilover suspension. It is truly a great way to go with complete adjustability for any ride height you want - just watch the offset of your wheels.

Yup ive just ordered mine

Go one further and also fit Eibach 15mm spacers on all wheels. The handling becomes that much better, and looks very good

[Randomjim]

Have thought about that, but do you need extended bolts aswell.

[robj]

Yes, the 15mm kit comes with longer bolts. If you go 20mm then the spacers bolt onto the hubs, and the wheels bolt onto the spacers.
