Default Lowering

I am looking at suspension options and I was wondering if coilovers are the best option. Are they the only type of adjustable suspension? Is there a less costly option that is still reliable? Thanks in advance for your help.

depends on how you drive, but if you just want to lower it with driving your car hard, then get lowering springs, but they will get soft over time, i recomend you do coilovers, that'll last through the life of your car, it won't get soft on you, and it's adjustable. it's kinda costly, but it's sooooo worth the $

Also depends on what size wheels your planning on putting on the car 17' - 18' with a cup kit would be fine this option drops the car the least amount.
Coil-overs drop it the most, throw 19's and expect some rubbing in hard cornering and bumps.

Oh btw i have my s-line stock audi shocks w/h&r sport springs for sale.

Stryker > I'm looking at the H&R sport cup kit and I noticed you have them. Some distributers say they require a new front swaybar for driveshaft clearance and some don't. Did you have to replace the front swaybar?
