Ss+ vs. H&R springs

Post by s3shane » Thu Apr 05, 2012 8:37 pm

Hi, probably been done but I have SS+ but can't help feeling the front needs to go down a tad. Will it be lower if I just change the springs to H&R or will it be the same? Can't imagine the back would need doing??

Cheers Shane.

Ss+ lowers by 10mm, H&Rs lower by about 25mm.

Also, have a look at Revolutions RS4 Avant project car. They fitted H&R's on the front only. IIRC it's on std spring at the back.

Cheers, I'm on my second RS4 my first 'normal' ride height second RS SS+ and I'd say it's alot lower than 10mm on the back. But if I bring the front down another 25 mm might get the ride height I'm after. Decisions ..
