don't just do springs unless you want to do the job twice if you do just springs plan on replacing your shocks 6 months after which just means 2 labour rates not ushally cheap just save now get a nice spring/shock combo or a nice set of coilovers

No it never scrapes. It actually has a decent ground clearance, but w/ no fender gap so its pretty perfect. My wheels are the rs4 reps form the company that sells them on ebay. They're really cheap, can't remember exactly how much. The tires were more expensive than the wheels. I'm pretty happy w/ them though, but I guess they're kind of heavy.

your ride looks really bad a$$ with the 2' drop but do u ever scrape the ground or a speed bump?

put a jack under the frame rails. set the jack at desired ride height. proceed to heat the springs with a plumbing torch. allow to cool and drive away.

its a sure way to kill yourself when your turning and the spring snaps in half
