Default Coil-overs

Hey guys, I am about to get coil-overs for my 96 A4 and I want to know how low I should go...I want it to sit low but I don't want to worry about rubbing if I go over the smallest bump. Thanks.

NickBroderick and Aledelic would be the ones to talk to about that.

Lol no they aren't. They'll tell you to keep lowering it until your rotors scrape

Albeit true, they have to be good at dealing with slight inclines by now

lower it until important stuff is at most 1" away from the ground. then just learn how to drive without making full turns and avoid potholes and bumps and pebbles and other things. if you can't avoid them then maybe you should consider moving to somewhere with perfect roads
