as some know I Have a 2013 a4 black edition tdi 177 quattro.

has anyone pictures of facelift lowered?

I use car for work so want to retain comfort and don't want anything crashy.

Don't want car slammed. Thinking 30-35mm front and back max.

Also want an even spring drop all round rather than low at front and high at back.

Been recommended h&r 30mm.

Help and pictures appreciated.
 
H&R's all the way, I'll have mine in on Tuesday week.

Il go a quick run with you once you get them in lad. What drop did you go for?
Wifes s3 has them in it and they must be 50mm as its slammed and very harsh...
 
That's grand, I'll be in uni hopefully on the Wednesday so I'll give you a text.

35mm, gives my Sport another 20mm drop over what it is now.

Purchased 40mm h&r springs for my S4 Avant which will hopefully go on next week! I wouldn't stray far from that brand, they were great on my S3

Some pictures and how the ride is like would be great once fitted bud
 
I guess that would be the uneven ground .

Any flat concrete or tarmac shots ?

Looks well. The front looks a little lower than back..

What was it like going over speed bumps etc?

Speed bumps were not good, snail pace over them, also front dynamic bumper lip got banged off a few kerbs, costing me twice to repaint it, :( but it did look good IMO. :kissmyrings:

If it's a black edition you'll need to take off around 15mm from any quoted drop so to get a further 30-35mm on top of what you already have on the Quattro model you'd need coilovers.

Sent you an email yesterday via your website mate thanks.

Send me list of best coilovers for comfort and standard feel and prices if you don't mind.

If I got 40mm h@r would that only drop car 25mm?
 
Ruairi if you had of lived closer i would of give you a drive in my car, its still comfy enough with the coilovers, and looks well with them
