Default RIMS AND QUESTIONS

I have a 2000 A6 2.7T and im gonna put 19" OE RS4 replicas on my car in a few weeks, but the website im ordering from says that for the 2.7t i would need spacers.... Is this true and would they come with the rims??
I also want to lower my car maybe 1.5" without killing my wallet , is the H&R cupkit a good choice? and should i get it lowered at the same time i install the rims..?????


HELP APPRECIATED

need a little more info on rims.. what's the offset?
yes I would lower it at the same time OR first.... or it'll look funny with 19's and a huge gap.
Eibach has a decent kit that would drop the car just enough I think. Just don't do springs only.

The important data is the offset.
You need to make sure the rims clear your brakes and that they are about at the edge of your fenders or in a little.
I had Cks with Et35 that where perfect, my RSGT's are Et38 and fit well but are a little in the fenders, doesnot look as good but can't use spacers as low as I am.

My buddy's A6 had the Eibach springs with Koni Yellow shocks and it is perfect interms of looks with his rims (19's with ET35) sitting right the edge of the fenders and handles great. it also is not as rough as mine with the H&R springs.

Drew, I answered your e-mail and sent you pics of my car next to my buddy's so you can compare the look with our different suspension setups. Both have 19's, I ahve BBS RS-GT's ET38 and he has RH RAT ET 35.

I like the look of your setup much better.... How much is your car lowered?? I dont want to sacrifice too much ride quality, but want a very aggressive look..... the rims come in 35 42 and 45 mm offsets. which combo do you think would look the most aggressive? and is there anything i can do to either the front or rear bumpers of the 2000 A6 2.7t to give it that aggressive look? I have no problem finding kits for A4s and newer A6s but not mine.....
