Default Audi A6 98-04 lowering springs

They are apex brand I need them to go fast.

Provide about a 1.5 inch drop. I got them off eBay, these are the ones used in Euromodders Audi's.

Apex makes alot of products for Audi goto their site. http://www.apexsuspension.com/gb/ind...ings_catalogue

Looking to get 150 shipped, they are around 300 from anywhere else.

Paypal, today!

im a noob to this stuff but how would you go about putting them on? do you just remove the suspension and take off the old ones and put on the new? is it that easy or am i missing something?

Yeah its not that hard. You do need a spring compressor, they have handheld ones. You can rent them from autozone.

To be honest, I'd jump on there regardless. They ride nice, apex has a phd in suspension lol.

Try to shop around, post in local racer forums to find somebody local with a shop at their house, they'll do it for like 50 bucks!

150 shipped. Let me know, Eibach's are 200+ H&R are also.

Don't be alarmed by thinking well nobody has Apex..?
Thats false, look at the euro audi-ers lol, they run apex all day. It's hard to find these springs in the USA, they just don't sell them here.

p.s. they retail for like 300+ dollars.

I don't have pictures, I think there are a few cats on cardomain with them.

They will not rub, I had them on with 18s and medium profile (like 2.5 inch tires top and bottom, maybe more) and no rubbing.

You don't have to upgrade the shocks, although its recommended by some, I never did and I know plenty of dudes on here A4's mainly that didn't do it either.

Unless your going to the track dont worry about shocks/struts.

1.25-1.5 drop. Even a 2.00 drop with the right shocks.

It's weird it kinda depends on the car sometimes! lol.
