By looking at other people's 30mm drop I'd say that's about right. Certainly wouldn't go any lower.Ian_C wrote:Parked very near a facelifted S5 coupe 3.0 today, I have to say it was sitting quite high!
Normally I'm not a fan of messing with the OE suspension, but I do wonder whether the facelifted 3.0s are sitting slightly higher than the prefacelift 4.2 V8 which looked fine tbh, that suspension drop looks spot on Nicky, about 30mm you reckon?

Re: Lowered and spaced
No, definitely not. Grounded my cats / downpipes going over a brutal speed bump into a pub car park on mothers day with five people in the car. I could hardly ask my mum and my grandma to get out.....
Was only going 2mph on the way in as I could see it was a whopper, on the way out I tried it diagonal but it still grounded just behind the front axle. Standard suspension, standard downpipes and cats (Milltek is only a cat back which doesn't start until further back). 225/45/17 winter tyres would give a negligible different in rolling diameter (and of course only half that difference radius wise)
