Now I know theirs been lots of threads on this topic but I cannot seem to find definitive answers to my questions. So all advice, knowledge, experience and pictures would be greatly appreciated.
I have standard S-Line springs/dampers/18" wheels and find the ride pretty poor tbh. I know coilovers are the answer but they are beyond my budget.
So if I was to go for a set of H&R/Koni/KW/Eibach lowering springs would I be compromising the ride further or would the higher quality springs actually improve things?
Also can someone explain the sizing guide most springs are sold by? For instance if you look here http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/audi-a3-8p-c-2375_2524_2533.html all the springs are described as 30mm, 35mm, 50mm etc. What does this measurement indicate? I'm presuming it's to do with the drop in ride height but as Sport, SE and S-Line models all have different ride heights which does it apply to?
A rough idea of fitting costs would be nice too, along with any pics of lowered cars on 18"s.
Thanks
Ron
