wanting to go lower...what do you reccommend?
 
I am just starting to modify my car some and wanting to know suggestions as far as lowering. I have a '04 A4 1.8 Quattro AWD. Springs and shocks? I was looking at Eibach springs...but was told I may only need to get rear shocks instead of all four.

Does this make sense?
I am also not wanting to spend a whole lot of money, but am also not about to just throw anything on my car.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

When your tires start to lean in from the top, your going to wish you had never done it, or at least spent the couple grand to have a proffesional do it right.

Well I am definately getting them put on by a body or mod. shop and getting a wheel alignment afterwards of course, but I was just talking about brands of shocks and springs.

I found nice Eibach sport springs to lower it 1.4" and front and rear sport shocks, but was wondering if I had to match the Eibach shocks with springs, or can I buy Bilstein sport shocks instead?

Thanks for the tip though!

if your going with just springs go with tien lux masters, but your going to be mad after about 6 mo,
i ran bilstiens sports and tien lux in my b5 i wouldn't trade my coilovers(adjustable damper nex coils with pro tek 2100/1900 race springs) for nothing maybe a g2 but other than that dude get low
and to stop crazy top camber Stern makes adjustable tie rod ends and you can roll your fenders with a bat if need be so you dont rub to much

Here's what I had in mind:

-Eibach Sportline Kit Springs 1.7” Front and Rear
-Eibach Pro damper Front & Rear Shocks Kit

I'm definately new at this and just want it look sexy, lol. But I have a lot to learn obviously.

i ran tiens for a while they where 1.7'' they where lux masters. they road ok. if you go with eibach get the progressive rate springs, there better for a daily driver and when you want it t be sporty it still will. but eibach makes a good product. i still wouldnt go back to sport nothing
