Default lowering...

It probably wont happen until next summer, but I am looking in to lowering my A4. I searched and found some info and from what I took in, this is all I need:

http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=13|AQ&type=2&ltype=ns_euro &p_id=569
http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=13|AQ&type=2&ltype=ns_euro &p_id=1182
http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=13|AQ&type=2&ltype=ns_euro &p_id=1182

From my calculations, it would be around 800 for all this plus whoever I have to pay to install it.


Is there anything else that is required??

There is also a race spring kit on the site for 20 dollars more. It seems that it would be way more worth it. Would that work with the shocks and struts?

Also, how smooth would the ride be?

How much would that lower it? and what are the advantages, if any, to those over the springs and shocks?

Are there any major performance or ride differences?

coilover are cost more but they are hieght adjustable
and if u pay more u can get ones where u can adjust the dampering
to make the damper softer or harder
harder for better handling and stuff
softer for better ride quatlity

Sport suspension is the next item on my shoping list (as the "head work" begins this Sunday)...

Anyone ordered new kit from Eibach? It is not yet listed on their site, but is a coil over kit with adjustable ride height (fixed shocks/struts) Front 1.2 - 3" and rear 0.8 - 2.5":

The lower you go, the rougher the ride. Race springs are pretty stiff, but I like mine.
