Lower A4 1.8 T Sport

[Beerzo]

Looking at getting 18"s soon & lowering the car.

so have a couple of questions.

(1) Has anyone fitted 18s to a standard ride hieght 1.8t sport, does it sit high as a kite?

(2) Where can i get 50-60 mm springs? As the sports i know come something like 20mm lower standard. So i would like my car done at least 30mm.

I have had trouble tracking down a set of springs for the car. Can any let me know where i can get them. I was wanting to avoid coilovers as i wount adjust them once they are on. But if a spring / damper kit cost close to the same then i may go for coilovers.

Also what can coilovers bring the car down. There will be a limit. Just wouldnt bother if they didnt bring it down by the above mentioned amounts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/noidea.gif

Can get my 16's in the arches with an inch to go on the coilovers. Only cost £220 on ebay too!

I have 40mm GSF branded springs fitted to my car, and they do exactly as they said on the box. The car is lowered at least 40mm, if not 50mm. A mate of mine fitted Ventura springs, again supposedly a 40mm drop, but i couldn't tell the difference betwen his before and after the suspension was fitted.

Another mate has 18" RS6 wheels fitted to his standard ride height A4, and it is high as a kite!

40mm springs should only drop the Sport versions about 20 mm is this correct?

Yes that is true.

This is my Sport on 18's with standard suspension

That looks fine to be a 20mm drop on that would look quite good. RS4s are going to be on order soon me thinks.
