H&R Springs & Spacers

Post by 'Qfizzle » Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:18 am

Thought of sharing this for those who are thinking of installing H&R lowering springs ( DRC spec ) with the spacers and get a slight review about it.

I've got the Vspoke wheels and i might give them a one tone paint job while they're at it.

No offence but a picture of a couple of boxes doesn't really show us much. Show us the pics with them on.

I'd be interested to see what the car looks like once it's done :beerchug:

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, but the dealership did not have the DRC lubricants to go ahead with the install, they ordered the lubricants and should arrive this week. Will have photos when everything is done.

Yes, Audi will install the mods, and no problems with warranty. :beerchug:

That sounds really good but I would triple check this fact if retaining your suspension warranty is important to you. I spoke with MTM about fitting their adjustable springs and, even if the Audi dealer was to fit them, this would exclude all suspension components from the Audi warranty.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

Qfizzle, quick question. Do you know if the spacers you've ordered fit both V spoke & Rotors?
It's all torque talk.

Is that a serious question??

Of course they fit both!

When I spoke to DC Performance they advised me that there are a number of different spacers by H&R for the B8, so yes, it is a serious question. :knob:
