I’ve got an a4 b8 3.0tdi lowered on 30mm H&R springs and it sits way too low at the front compared to the back? I took my 20” wheels off that was 245/35/20 because it was catching the arch. So I’ve put my standard 18” (245/40/18) wheels on now the arches don’t catch but now the under side on the car catches on speed bumps??? Is there any kind of spacer I can fit to give me a 10mm or so lift in the front? Funny thing is I had 35mm eibach on before this, I put the 30mm’s on thinking it would lift a little but it sits lower

With the 18” wheels on. The fronts are tucked up in to the arch don’t know if you can tell on the pic?

Like above possibly the wrong springs you may have been sent the 2.0 TDi ones and the 3.0 will require a higher spring rate due to the added engine weight

But that would mean both eibach and H&R sending me the wrong springs :-( Any idea how I could check if they are the wrong ones please??

You will need the part numbers off your current ones to check against Eibachs/H&R’s fitment lists. Are the springs a 30mm drop all round or are they more of a drop on the front? I’m sure some eibach kits are set up to give more of a drop at the front creating a reverse rake look?
 
Thanks I will try and have a look see if I can see the part numbers
