I have a 2001 A4 1.8T with sport suspension. It has a low effect but has room to go lower as some of you might think the same with their cars. I want to buy new springs to make it lower, coilovers are out of the question financially. Do the numbers on brand web sites (1.5F- 1.3R) apply to an A4 with stock suspension or the sprot suspension for the years?? My concern is I dont want to buy springs and it ends up the same height as the sport suspension sold with some Audi's. Does anyone have suggestions on brands to buy with a great look to the car after???

 

The numbers apply to stock springs. Just putting in lowering springs will only get you .75" or so at best. Try to find a good used coilover set on Ebay or this forum. If it has less than 10-20K miles on it I wouldn't worry, they're usually Koni or Bilstein innards.

 

I think your sports package lowers your car .75' .So if you get sport springs(H&R , Nuespeed) your going to get a .5' - .75' drop lower than Audi sports package. If you want to go much lower you'll need race springs for about another 1.0' drop.

 

good info, you just saved me the trouble of doing this for a negligible drop!

 

Anybody using Gmax springs? Thinkin about 60mm not sure about there quality though...Any second hand coilovers goin?

 

I have a B7 with sport suspension, and I replaced the springs with Eibach Pro-Kit. I'm now 1 inch lower all the way around.
