Default Lowering 2001 Audi

I would like to ask if someone can tell me what drop can i expect with these lowering springs? Any pictures would be great or something similar to imagine the view.

or these

can't really recommend any, but from what i've heard (for 4.2's only since that's what i have), a drop of 1 to 1 1/2" (25 to about 40mm) is preferred. IMHO...

About a 40mm drop on 19's

Another but on 18's I believe


The difference between 40mm and 50mm is not much so it's up to you...if you have a lot of speed bumps I would go with 40mm, may make your commutes a bit easier. Also from what I have read eibach's are the most comfortable ride for lowering springs (progressive rate springs like the cobra's you posted).

I have never seen Eibach's lowering springs that would lower 40mm. Just these http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...roduct=4020364

But these lower 30mm only. So the gap should be big enough.

I will choose 40mm lowering springs but what maker to choose? KONI or WEITEC because I have found springs that fit to my car on this website only unless you know more websites to buy lowering springs.

I don't know of any European distribution sites...I would get these

Car would stick well and sit low. They are also progressively wound so perhaps the ride quality would even be good.
