Hey guys,
I was looking into lowering my 2.8L Q, but i don't know how low to drop it to fit 18' RS4 Replica Wheels. Does anyone have any idea?

Go w/ coilovers if you are not sure of the height you want. You'll be able to adjust it from like 3/4" to 3" below stock ride height, depending on the brand.

manufan got a good price (I think theyretail $700 and he got them 1/2 off) on V-MAXX coilovers(VMXAU02 for quattro) from Stratmosphere, and I got Statis from supremepowerparts.com for $985. The STaSIS (Koni) coilovers are good quality and ride great, but ask manufan about the Stratmosphere ones.

yeah, V-MAXX coilovers are $699 there. again, manufan can tell you about the ride, the quality, etc. Maybe he posted a reveiw on them, if not, someone on Audizine might have.
