ORIGINAL: mark80scu

If i want to lower my A3 with premium paskage (that now has a horrible 3 inch gap) what should i do? i'd like to get around 1 inch gap, is that ok, too much to little? in future i'd be also putting on some 18's, but if i keep the overall wheel diameter the same that should not play too much into the gap.
i'm not looking for racing suspension, just nice lowering and a little less body roll.
coilover installed will run for 1k?

i suggest going with coilovers, that way you can adjust the height of your preference, and it'll give take away alot of that body roll.it'll will run you a min of $800 up to $2000 if you like. i got mine for 1400 plus 300 installation

I can't believe you said that there's no use to take pix of your car...there's always a reason to take pics of your car, either stocked or modded...you should be ashamed of yourself!

now with the rims, i suggest you stick with silver, they'll keep your attention longer! haha you might get bored with black too fast and want to switch them out! hahaha...

ok, silver rimsit is then.......

i took my car on a few crazy 8 off and on ramps last night, normally, i'll hear my tires squeal and the car slidingaround 40 mph, but i was doing an easy 55 with minimum tire squealing, and again, body roll is pretty much gone.

me a happy camper

btw, i noticed last night with driving with my xenons on,i noticed they're kinda pointing downwards a bit, especially the left headlights, i can actually see where the light doesn't shine, normally everything of 40yards in front of me is lit up, but now, it feels like i'm driving with normal headlights on, is that because the bixenons don't know how to adjust with the now-lowered height of the car?
