hmmmmm, i just measure the gap and its 2 inches from the edge of the tire to the tip of the fender. say i throw on the h+r race springs, it'll be a 2 inch drop where i would def need to roll the fenders, i'll get that extra 1/2 inch from rolling the fenders but how can the shocks and springs compress on hard cornering? Whats the worst damages that can be done? jus the annoying sound?

melting your wheel well is never great. not only are you putting holes in your well now... but you have melted plastic on your tires.

i would go with sport springs if it was mine...but that's just me, alot of people like it as low as they can get it.

i'd personally stick with those 2", they're pretty damn nice. there are springs you can get (where... company... i dunno...) that will keep that ride height, and give you the sporty handling. IMO, that's your best bet. everyone here is avoiding looking like a truck with their cars too high, why look like a truck on bags with the fenders covering the wheels?

let me clarify, if youre going with h+r springs, go with the sports...but i agree with check, it looks good now, i'd leave it at that height. i'd love to find that suspension youre talking about check. something that sits at the sport suspension height but is a little stiffer...besides a 1400 dollar coilover system...

not sure of the difference in ride height, but waht about the stock sport suspension or even an S4 setup? that should maintain SOME of your ride height, while giving you sportier handling.

Yea Droo, I would definetly go with the H&R sport springs unless you like that look where the tire is covered by the fender, but personally i think the sports would make it look "beautiful"

My tires were not tucked when I had race springs and 18". About a 1 finger gap. Had to roll my fenders though.
