A3 - Finally some Coilovers!!!!

[DrnknCamel]

Here are a few pics of my newly lowered A3. I am still letting it settle and may adjust the corners a bit. Also i know i need some spacers. Thats the next step in a week or two. Sorry for the iphone pics, just snapped these coming out of the post office the other day.

They are ST coilovers. Thanks to Glen over at AMI. He was very helpful. What size spacers you guys recomment. I was thinking like 5-8mm in the front and maybe 12-15 in the back.

Looks nice! I have yet to drop mine beyond the OEM sport suspension, but threads like these make it tempting!

Looks GREAT!

It could go a lot lower. Probably about an inch more in the front and 2 in the back.

I've been in cars with non-hubcentric spacers that had minor wobble at speed. Anything less than 10mm probably does not have hubs to center the wheels.

Thanks, I havent bought spacers for a car before (only a 4wheeler) so i am not sure which ones to buy.

That looks terrific!

How much did it change the ride?
Thinking of doing mine, just a little gun shy due to road conditions in NJ.

I would definitely measure before you buy, that way you know how big of a spacer to buy to give you what you want.

Not the best of pictures, but this is a 20mm spacer with an 18x8 et47 wheel, making it et27. It was too aggressive and I rubbed A LOT. I didn't measure before I bought them :D

Thanks for the advice. Yours looks good, but i am with ya, i want no rubbing whatsoever!

I took them off when I went lower with my coilovers, I couldn't stand all the rubbing
