Default shocks? springs? both?

picked up some 19" rims for 200$ brand new just wondering i got a sag in the rear end, and drops hard when i dump the clutch in the rear end, trying to stiffen it up abit, just wonder most bang for your buck? should shocks just do it? do i need both? heard theres a good setup with touring in front HD's in the back? not to sure how about to go with this, and yes i know 19"s are large so dont remind me lol

lowering springs on stock shocks is going to be the cheapest route, but you won't be able to control ride height this way. With 19" wheels I'd be concerned about being able to fine tune ride height to avoid destroying the tires on the fenders and suspension bits.

alright so i put them on kijiji, selling them or trade for 18" with treads, one guy emailed me and had some msr's, should i trade or attempt to try the 19's?

to make my decision easier, would a 6 inch offset fit even? measured from inside rim, hub connection to outer rim edge

the ones on the a4 is what he wants to trade,

Personally I would keep the ones you have. The RS4 reps are WAY nicer looking than the ones on that avant.
