Well if you live in Colorado and lowered your car, then I guess I have nothing to worry about, ha. Thanks to all that answered me

Yeah, it will look real stupid. Just save the 18s until spring or until you can afford height-adjustable suspension. I think stockers look much better than 18s in 4x4 mode.
Does anyone know of a suspension for Audis that is height adjustable from the driver's seat? I know that TEIN makes one for various Japanese cars, but it doesn't look like for Audi is available.

u'd have to bag it...

bags dont use shoks, simply air..

bilstien makes grooved shoks from like .25in above stock (based on regular suspension, not sport) to 1.25 below

I'm not sure that I understand what you are saying. There are performance shocks that are adjustable from the driver's seat. It's just a matter of whether there are some out currently for Audi. It sounds like you don't think there is anything out right now.

Bummer. It is probably just a matter of time though. I think it would be great to be able to make about an 1"1/4 from the inside on the fly. The tech has been around a long time.

for you guys with the adj coilovers, when you lower or raise the car for different season, do you have to do wheels alignments everytime?
