i kno theres a thread about this but i need help fast...i got intrax lowering springs and plannin to have a person install it fo me for 120$ but im plannin to install them on my non sport shocks. my car is 1.8t quattro 97 and ill have enough money after two months since bills. i was wondering if they would even last that long since its non sport. but nothing major will happen except rough ride right?

well the springs wont wear out if thats what you are asking?? and as for the shocks they will last around 6months to a year depending on the way you drive, the springs and sport shock combo will give you a somewhat rough ride but in all reality when you get aftermarket shocks the ride will more likley be even more rough depending on what brand you choose. the harder the ride the better you handle (to a certain degree)

 

wut if im puttin on INTRAX super sport springs 2.25F 2.0R on my stock non sport shocks. will they last at least a month or two?

 

why not just wait and do it all at once when you have the money save you 2 labour rates

 

thats pretty low, depending on the condition of your shocks now they will blow in less than 6 month again depending on how you drive, im about that low maybe a tiny bit lower, you will have fender rubbing issues too. i say either wait or do it yourself its really not that hard.

 

no no no dont do it, just dont do it. you will go so low and your ride will be the worst you can imagine. I had acura cl with 2.25/2.5" lowered with stock shocks and OMG... you cant believe how worst my ride was. Please wait and done it at ones with shocks struts.


take the blue pill and forget about this idea.

 

worst case scenario, your shocks blow and your car bounces for a few weeks...not too big a deal, but you'll look like you're riding on chopped springs, not sure i'd do it.

 

I think you've never drive a car lowered 2.5" with stock shocks. As soon as you lowered your car start to bonce. You dont need to wait till blows..

There should be a different between normal and sports shock right ? make sence ?

Do not try it, otherwise you will end up like spending more money than you planned.

Wait and go with cupkit or coilovers.

This is an audi, not a civic or acura. I dont wanna see a lowered audi and bouncing around.

 

I had intrax springs my bilstein sports lasted a year.
