Default Should I give these springs a try?

I hopefully am going to be putting some new 18s on my A4 soon, and I wanted to lower my car. Should I try these springs? Plus they say that they will give me the $35 bucks back for shipping if I send them a pic on my car. Tight!

A few questions:

1. Will they give me better handling than the stock springs? (non sport)
2. Will it be a rough ride?
3. Is this a easy DIY job? I am not very car inclined yet but working on it!
4. Is there a writeup somewhere that could show me how?

Thanks guys I love this forum, so much help!

Lol good call, I forgot the link!

Megan racing is AWESOME. Just put some of their headers on a Saabaru yesterday and was really extremely impressed with the quality, called them and they helped us trouble-shoot some problems we were having, too. I don't know much about the springs, but the company has a good reputation to my knowledge.

BTW, Audiworld.com/tech should definitely have a write-up on suspension

correct me if i'm wrong, but dont the 1.8t and 2.8 use different springs because of the weight difference? i think the physical fitmit of the springs will be ok but if they're taylored for the 2.8 the springs are a little stiffer and your drop wont be as drastic as if they were taylored for the 1.8...the listing says for 1.8t AND 2.8? do you specify when ordering? i'd make sure first.

I was thinking that, too. I'm sure you specify after you buy. If not just call 'em.

from what I have seen they are pretty good, just not as widely known as some of the larger brands
