What springs you getting mate and where from?

How much you lowering it by? im thinking of doing this myself but dont want to go lower than 30mm.
 
You will need spring compressors, a deep swan necked spanner 21mm IIRC and a good solid jack and stands. Over and above standard half inch drive sockets etc
 
Start soaking the front pinch bolts and buy some new ones .
 
im fitting eibach springs 40mm rear 50mm front and i got them from dpm, they advertise on the forum. what part is the swan neck spanner for?:uhm:
 
The damper top nuts, they are sunk down quite a bit and you need to be able to get an allen key through the centre to hold the damper piston still.
 
anyone got any pics of a b7 audi a4 on 30mm eibach springs?

Just want an idea of how low they will look?
 
so do you take the rear damper off from the top or bottom, sorry for keep asking but id rather know now, just so it go,s smoothly at the weekend.
