Lowering springs

Post by RIV » Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:42 pm

I'm going to look into doing a small drop on the suspension on riv, just think it would look a little nicer, just need to make sure this isn't going to give me any problems with the warranty, has anyone else done this? If so what make of spring did you got for? H&R or KW

I can lend you a couple of fat chicks that'll do the same thing
They'll make your car stink of chips, but they're cheaper than four springs, and you never know, two bigger ladies might be an ambition of yours :)

Thanks for the offer, but I hate fat birds
Skinny arms and a nice pair of tits will do, if you can supply 4 of them I will accept the offer :bigblink:

I'll have a dig through my collection and see if I have any with small arms and heavy breasts, but I'm not sure I do
Fat ones, I have by the dozen. Don't knock them until you've tried them though :)

I never realised how much the VSpokes suit the RS5
The one I have at the mo has rotors, and in black, it's hard to differentiate it at a glance from a normal a5
