Lightbulb Lowering

I have an 01 a4 Quattro with the sports package...What is the best way to go about lowering the vehicle. I want to gain better stability and handling because stock they are wayyyy to high.

Side note...anyone know the best leatherette cleaners? I have a tear on the front driver seat and want to patch it too.....

you can go likw 1.5" drop on sport shocks max. vogtland springs are good. and so are the h&r sport. H&r race might be pushing it.

It depends on how much money you are willing to spend. If you don't plan to spend as much, spring and shock combo should do the job for you. However, if you're willing to spend more, I would say go for coilover as you can set it the way you want it.

As for leatherette cleaner, I personally use Meguiar's leather cleaner (the one that creates foam). It works well for me and keeps the seats shinny for at least 2-3 weeks before I do them again.

I believe you can also use those leather repair kit they have at Pep Boys/Auto Zone to patch it up. I'm not 100% sure as I have never done this my self though.

Vogtland club spec with bilstein sports
or
stasis streetsports (or tracksports, or motorsports)
or
Startup Racing's Vogtland GT

Depends on your budget and performance needs/wants.
