Stock Sport Suspension but thats to high!!! i want it lower
 
I have a FWD that said i been searching for springs that will lower my car more than 1.3" I only have found them for the quattro why is that. I have the stock sport springs but if i get any other after market springs like H&R neuspeed ect.... they only offer the SPORT which i think its about the same of what i have height wise. i know the better way is to go coilovers but i dont have the $$$ for that right now. are there any springs outhere that will lower my car more than the sport springs?? (for a FWD))

How low do you want and how much are you looking at spending?

Try posting a WTB thread on this and/or other forums? If you haven't already checked classifieds. You might have better luck.

About the only thing you can do for that kind of money is springs which the lowest I have found is about 1.4f and 1.3r for the fwd. You could look for a used set of coil overs maybe.

you dont really want to get lower springs then that without the shocks to match the lower travel. the stock shocks are designed for a set range of travel and when you change that with springs that are too low, you can damage them.

H&R Springs
 
Hey, I have a quattro that had the factory sport suspension, but I got the H&R sport springs, and it lowered my car quite a noticeable amount. At the rear, I probably have maybe one finger between the fender and tire, and at the front, I have just under 2 finger spacing. Don't know if this helps or not.

Also, I kept the audi shocks, the ride hasn't been too harsh, but I will probably be upgrading to something in the near future to give a little bit softer ride.
