H&R Lowering Springs vs Standard

Post by MICALEE » Fri Aug 07, 2009 10:36 am

For not wanting to exhaust my never ending questions on my future set up of my S4, can anyone advise?

I want to lower the car as I believe fitting 19s on standard suspension will make it look odd (the front wheel arch gap is larger than the back on S4's as I think most will agree)

I dont want to lose too much comfort but appreciate I will obviously lose some by firstly fitting lower profile tyres and losing some suspension travel due to the springs. Eibach dont do springs for the B7 S4 but H&R do.

I understand they are progressive so will lend some comfort during normal driving and firm up comsiderably when pushed hard.

Coilovers are probably the answer to all my questions, but I dont want to pay the premium.

Can anyone comment on the ride quality on Standard over H&R lowering springs?

The ride is noticeably harder but the handling is transformed.
