Lowering help!!

H&R springs bud. But you’ll probably want to change your shocks and you’ll also need to get some adjustable rear tie arms as lowering the cars generally throws in a lot of camber.

Oh damn okay so this won't be as cheap as I'd hoped, any recommendations for shocks and tie arms?

And those oem rear arms are prone to snap, even on recall, my old S3 recall arms from audi snapped again lol

Hmmmm, nothing is cheap with this cars.

You can just get lowering springs, just keep in mind your standard shocks will wear much quicker and your tyres will likely wear a lot more in the inner.

Just echoing NHN if your going to do it, do it right and do it once. Even if you need to wait longer to do it.

As Tuffty mentioned and why I asked if it was FWD or Quattro. You won’t need adjustable rear tie arms being FWD. Springs and shocks would be all you’d need to change. Like I said before you can change your springs however your standard shocks will wear out fairly quickly. In my opinion the ride won’t feels very positive either. Save up and swap out shocks and springs at the same time if I were you.

I got my my springs and shocks from DPM performance. I went with B8 shocks and H@R 25mm lowering springs.
The drive is spot on with them but they are still settling because I've only had them on just over a week.
