Lowering S-Line

[Lee540]

Has anyone here lowered an S-line by just a spring kit using the standard shocks? I'm looking at H&R springs but not sure whether to go for Sport or Super Sport kit? 35mm or 50mm? Assuming approximate drop based upon non S-line car?

Thanks

i had H&R's and wasn't low enough, most photos that i found at the time were too dark and didn't really show how much of a gap there was in the arches. pics here really show the height: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-...oilovers-vs-h-r-50mm-springs-pics-review.html

Potholes in glasgow are bad enough. If I was sitting on air I'd have a lot of issues lol

My car if it was on air

thats why you'd have electronic management, see a pot hole, press a button and raise it all the way up instantly

I'm not completely ruling it out but I just think the money that I could spend on air ride and new wheels would be better spent on my next car with a bit more pace
