Anyone running H&R 35mm springs on 18s?

Before my coilovers i was on a 35mm drop with H&R springs, didn't really make much difference to the ride height to be honest, as the S-Line is slightly lower anyway it was only a 20mm ish drop which i couldn't really notice even with 500 miles on the springs.
I'm running H&R's on mine although it's now on 19's.
A few pics of my current and previous steed also on H&R's

Im running 50mm H&R springs on 18" OEM Wheels.....remember s-line is about 20mm lower than standard already
So my 50mm spring - 20mm existing s-line spring = lowerage of about 30mm
So my 50mm spring - 20mm existing s-line spring = lowerage of about 30mm
What profile tyres do you have in that pic smoothie? Im after H&R springs for mine, got in touch with dpm they only have 35mm springs to fit the quattro. Its an s-line so as said above with 35mm springs its not goin to be a huge difference. Does anyone know if 50mm springs are available for the quattro?

-50mm springs..that a bit of pressure for your shocks to cope with!

That's a fairy tale, it's tried and tested on here and mines running perfect at that height! only lowered 25-30mm from s-line....eiabch springs drop futher than that
50mm is pretty much the limit though, then a shock upgrade is in order which is probably why they only make a 35 & 50
Yea they should be available for the quattro

Yeah I would love to go collies but funds are needed elsewhere, what about the handling as I heard it's a much more comfortable drive but still better in corners?
Thanks that helped alot, ride height looks better than mine but I agree 19s look alot better, when ever I get round to changing may opt for 19" RS4s then
Yeah I knew about the being 15-20mm lower already, would love to go abit lower but with the quattro 35mm springs seem to be the lowest around without going collies
Thanks

What were the offset of these wheels? Are these replicas? They look real amazingly flushed!

I was thinking of putting 35mm H&R springs on my A3 55 plate SE, it sits really high lol, but because it sits so high im thinking 50mm would sit better, would that be a correct asumption?
and as i have an SE will i need new shocks? thanks

I was thinking the same but my problem is I have an SE which obv is softer than sport so thinking if I want to go 50mm I probs end up needing to change shocks too
Massive thread dig, but just did mine today.

Have only driven about 10km so I'm hoping they will settle a bit more.
If anyone is reading this thread and is thinking about doing it themselves, my tips would be:
Do it without removing hub/driveshafts etc
Use heaps of WD40
Have a 7mm Allen key handy (most sets only come with a 6mm and 8mm) as well as a swan neck 21mm spanner
