hi, I am looking to lower the overall ride height of my 1999 TQS b5, the problem is that all the lowering springs I have found regardless of manufacturer start at 30mm reduction , I was aiming at 20mm front and 15mm at rear to give an overall affect on driving and stability . I want to lower the car but not to destroy its appearance or push the wheels so far up the wheel-arch it bottoms out, so how can this be achieved ? lowering springs I would prefer over adjustable suspension struts, other forums say that using lowering springs are only for people who cannot afford the adjustable struts but again no matter what make they are they all start at 30-45mm and that is to much. I have unrestricted use of a dealership workshop and tools so constant attempts to get this right is not a problem with regards to time and efforts, my current set-up is factory standard [ 1bv ] code and in good working condition so short of cutting the springs down incrementally to achieve the exact level what am I to do. any ideas ? chris@Sussex.
