Lowering question

Post by **Norre** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:57 am

Hi! My 07 RS4 has SS+, but i want to lower it a little bit more. Is this possible with just H&R springs or do i have to buy a coil kit? I have searched but not found anything helpfull. The H&R springs lower 20-25mm. I have read somewhere that the SS+ is about 10mm lower, so will H&R lower 10-15mm then?

Thanks!

Check out the pics on th 'Sunday Meet At Beaconsfield' as the Mugello saloon as H&R springs. Looked really nice, particularly the front.

Will the lowering springs put more strain on DRC tho?

good question, I suppose it might as it holds the shocks in a continually higher state of compression, it might be equivalent to being at max pressure all the time.

Okey! But do you have SportSuspension plus also? Looks real nice btw!

nope, mine was original suspension setup, not SS or SS+

I understood the difference in SS and SS+ to be the springs themselves and the DRC setup to be the same for each?

I may be wrong, i'm sure can clarify this...

The original suspension for the RS4 is SS.

SS+ was the only suspension option.

very interested int his upgrade myself. money too tight currently to go for coilovers.

is the ride appreciably firmer on the springs? are the h&r springs expensive to have installed? approx how much do they retail at?

its been highly recommended to me to use STaSIS coilovers. I cant afford the coilovers at this stage, so I contacted STaSIS and they supply lowering springs only - USD395 plus freight. might be a good alternative to H&R, albeit offering the same lowering height

I can advise on this as I've been researching and enquiring about it for a while. I started a thread on " achieving the stance" or something, part 1 or 2. It covers widening and lowering. I'm gonna update it very soon regards lowering with springs only.
