so im looking to get some h&r springs and bilstein shocks. but i see that the sport springs only drop 1.3 front and back. is this enough with the 9 spoke audi 18s? if anyone has this same set up or similar let me know pleaseeee i need my drop!! thanks

 

I installed the suspension you a referring to almost two weeks ago. Sadly I don’t have 18's I have stock rims but here are some pics if they help.

please excuse my photography im not very good.

 

very nice how much did that set you back?

 

Both ECSTuning and AWE-Tuning have good prices on the H&R/Bilstein packages.
AWE had it for $729
ECS had it for $730

I ended up going with AWE becuase it was cheaper shipping though I had not made a purchase through them before. I normally have made purchases with ECS. I didnt have the proper tools to do the job sadly so I had to take it to a local shop to get it done.

 

as long as you got it done thats what counts. i might get some springs from a friend. how much are is a good price for justthe sport bilsteins? ive seen some varying prices......

 

Baconbait has that setup (H&R Sports with Bilsteins). His gallery shows his car with his 18" ASA's. There are pictures of his car on dvagonline.com with the 18"s and with his new 17" SSRs for comparison.

 

For less than 300 more, you can get coilovers, which are adjustable, and can be set to the proper drop depending on how far you need to go.
Purems.com has like 3 different brands for right around $1000.
Its better than being locked in to a specific drop. And the handling is probably slightly better. Mainly, you have some flexibility.

 

Go with the coil overs. My roommate got them and the drop looks great. I am getting some installed within the next week. Keep your eyes open for group buys. I got mine for less the 1k.

 

you can get used CO's for 800 ish well worth the 100 bucks i think.
