Hi guys i have an audi a4 2003 3.0 quattro, i want to lower my car by about 1 inch in the front and 0.7 in the back, ive been told that if i change just the springs i will have to replace the shocks in about 5 k miles. So im thinking of getting a full kit. I dont really race that much but i want it to be a little bit stiffer but not like im riding in a car with square wheels and feel everything single bump. Any recommendations on what brand should i get and what do i have to do? Maybe theres something else i have to change?
Thanks.

if you change spring you don't need to change shocks..but if you will.. check eibach they have a full set up..

if not try nuespeed sport (stiff yet not as stiff as race) for springs and shocks go with kyb's or eibach or tokico

im looking on spending around 600-800 bucks. Anything for that money?

low_civic · 05 Apr 2006, 02:14 am

depends where your from...but the set up i have is neuspeed race and tokico gas shocks (ride is bumpy as hell) but dropped 2" and i paid 500$ for the whole set up.

i would also look into getting the S4 suspension..

what kind of suspension does the s4 have?

dsmtim · 05 Apr 2006, 10:08 am

probably a version of an audi coilover, the suspension on the s4 is probably alot.

My rims are 8.5 wide, so my car looks like that jetta without those spacers because my rims are wide already and my tires are 235, so i dont need those.But thanks. The other thing that i want is a body kit something like ur friends jetta, like the rs4 kit, know any cheap place?
P.S. whos that hot girl or ur avatar? damn

JGT8229 · 06 Apr 2006, 07:17 pm

if i where you i wouldnt get a cheap body kit they wil just brake. he has a reiger rs4 body kit. i dont know much about where to buy body kits, check out www.ecstuning.com they mite have it. your car would still look badd ass with spacers, but its your car so do what YOU like. you decide on witch suspention your gona get yet?
