Will drop the front more, once the coilovers settle, and my training wheels (par se) come off (see how driveways and speed bumps habits need to change at the current height, if any)

TPE_A3 - Could you find outfrom your tuner how many turns the rebound/damper is adjustable, from full soft to full stiff? I can already tellthat I will have to stiffen it up a bit.

 

If I'm near there...I will ask and see if he knows. It's set to medium which does the trick for me.

Looking good...you are right...you can still go lower! I'd also think about moving up to 18"inches...the tires are looking beefy

You should be able to lower the back right down over the top of the tire without any rubbing, and the front could still go down a BIT more without any problems. You're right though, get used to it first, then see how low you go!

 

Thanks TPE

 

If you do go lower and get new rims you will rub at anything less than 25.25" in front and 25.5" in the rear with 225/40-18s on 18X8-45s. Try to find a 50MM offset wheel and youshould clear all round w/ no problem at 25" F and 25.25" R. All distances measured from the ground to the lowest point in the inside of the fender arch.

Also, check those measurements before you readjust the suspension or take it into a shopso you know how much things were adjusted. If possible, put some weights in the driver seat that match your own when you measure.

 

D'oh, fronts already at 25.2" and the rears are at 24.2"[:@]

I will probably keep the oem star rims, question, did I watch to many reruns of the andy griffith show[sm=happybounce.gif]?

 

Looks great. The lines of the A3 really benefit from that stance.
