H&R Springs, Spacers & Camberley Audi
Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2009 11:29 pm
Hi Guys,
Well I have been so busy with work that I haven't even had a chance to write about this.
Couple of weeks ago I fitted my Hotchkis ARB's and while the car was up on the ramp I found that both my front shocks were leaking again
So got on the phone to Rob at Camberley and got the car booked in. About a year ago I bought a set of H&R 25mm lowering springs and 10mm rear spacers and 8mm for the fronts. they have been sat in the garage gathering dust as after buying them I realised it wasn't a simple job to fit them as the DRC needs to be repressurised after fitment and this can only be done by Audi. So I spoke to Rob and asked if it would be ok to pop the new springs onto the new shocks instead of sticking with the standard ones. I was delighted to be told yes and Stuart the RS MT at Camberley very kindly stuck on my spacers while the wheels were off the car as a finishing touch.
At this point I just want to say I really cannot praise Camberley Audi enough! Rob and Stuart in particular are absolute superstars and car enthusiasts which is so refreshing! I have said it before on here and I will say it again I really would never take my RS anywhere else after being there. The service, attention to detail and customer service they provide is exactly what you would expect when spending circa £50k on a car and thy do not disappoint you. I know there are a good number of dealer that really should take a leaf out of there book. Anyway I've banged on enough now but guys seriously it is worth the extra travel I'm an hour away and if I'm honest even if I was 3 hours away I would still go to them. FAB FAB FAB!!!!!
So having had the springs fitted what do I think? To be honest the look of the car is perfect just what I wanted. tyres sit flush just up inside the arch and with the spacers god it looks FAT! I love it. But that isn't the best bit. The ride is just superb. It is just a tad harder than standard but the ride quality is just as good and I believe with a fully working DRC system it probably doesn't get much better than this with regards to a combination of sports handling and comfort. I know Caldy will agree having run this set up for a year or so now.
I have some pictures but the car is dirty and it's dark so not the best. I will post some more next week as I'm away for a week now. But you get the idea.
If you need DRC doing then I would recommend this Mod chaps so so so pleased with mine
Front arches look so Full
Backs look even better and the whole stance of the car is even meaner and fatter than before
This shot is taken at knee level so from this angle when you look at the car from head height all you see is arch, tyre wall and wheels
No gaps......
CheeRS for looking comments welcome!

I would like to stick coilovers on mine, but that means changing insurance etc.. to modified car blah blah blah, so will hold off for now.
