Default Springs Help!

I know for definite I'm getting 18 or 19" wheels with a body kit.

However, I am looking at getting it lowered. I was looking at Vogtland and Neuspeed. I do not want to affect ride quality. I do not want to be bouncing around. LoL.

Should I also replace the shocks too? Any thoughts would help!

From experience...

You can change your springs for H&R OE sports without change the shocks. I believe this lowers the car about 0.25"-0.50" (Stock Audi w/ Sport Package).

If you plan on going with anything else, I would highly suggest changing out the shocks. If you don’t, the stock shocks could be toast within a few thousands miles. The previous owner of my car had H&R sport springs, with stock shocks, and has 19's. Dude, any road with a lot of bumps, and it was sloppy at heck. The car only has 40K when I bought it…

We replaced everything with eibach prokit springs, and FSD dampers. It took about 500miles to settle, and now is amazing. The drop is about 1.0"-1.5" from stock and looks just right IMO. Handling is there too…

If you plan on slamming your car to the ground the only way to go and dial in the road comfort, plus fit 19s, are coilovers.... go for the PS9s...
