I drive a 1998 A4 1.8T

Alright, so, I bought a pair of audi rep's (they are 18x8.5)...and I put a pair of 235/40/18's on em....they were mounted and balanced today and I have comfortably put 20 miles on them tonight....now for some questions...

1. I have rediculous wheel gap!(4 friggin fingers to be xact!) I am 100% dead set on H&R/ Bilstein... should I stay "safe" w sport, or should I cross my fingers and go for da race springs?

2. My car is a non sport, so, will the sport springs drop da car more than the #'s conveyed?

3. does anyone run , or has anyone ran a similar setup?...I am mainly interested in suspension setups...fender rolling...rubbing issues...and any pictures you may have of your audizzles lowered, dropped or slammed....

thanks for any input...

56K beware!

you bought a pair of wheels? what are you using for the other 2 corners of the car?

 

If you go with sport springs, you should be okay. Sports springs will yield a drop close to that of the Audi sport suspension; buta hair lower. If you go with race springs, you'll probably run into rubbing issues andwillneed to roll the fenders.

If you run 225/40/18 with race springs, you shouldn't run into any problems. But everyone's results vary.

 

Two pairs of wheels...sorry

alright....thank you A4 Effort, that's what I needed to know...although I think the race springs would look alot better, I am going to go w da sport springs (i really don't need any headaches)....besides that, I went w da 235's because I had some major pothole issues w 225's in da past....

I'll post some gap pics tonight

thanks again!
