Hello folks,
Would anyone be able to advise me if my car looks as it should following the fitting of a KW suspension kit which is supposed to lower the car by 35mm? I had the suspension kit (click link to see kit) which was comprised of springs and shock absorbers, fitted yesterday and unless my eyes deceive me the car actually seems higher than it did before I had the new and supposedly lowered shocks and springs fitted. In fact to me it looks to be slightly jacked up at the rear.
The car seems to feel better on the road and it certainly takes the many bumps and speed humps on the roads where I live better with the new set up so there are no complaints in that department.
My car is a late 2008 facelift A3 Quattro 170bhp 3dr with after market 18â alloys with an offset of 45 running on 225/40/18 rubber. According to the box in which the suspension kit come it was the right kit for my car. Is it possible the garage may have fitted the suspension wrong? I took it back today and they had it on the ramps double checking everything and they said it was ok - however I am not convinced and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
