My A3 Thread

[Pat_McGroin]

Yup, it won't go drastically lower but it will drop a bit more from the day of the install, front and back, from what I've been told by several techs is that the coils have to adjust to the weight of the car, this is done by driving it for a week or two.(settleing period) By the way were they brand new before they were installed?

As for me, I measured the front after the install, I was on my last thread(still am) and measured out above 25" ground to fender. It's been almost a month and I now sit at 24" GTF. I'll get the exact measurements tonight but it settled really nice. :)

Mine settled more in the front than rear.

Cool !!!!

Did you put spacers front and rear ?
Did you do the rear screw mod as you're lowered?

Just in the rear because the wheels were sunk to the max and I did not do the rear screw mod and personally I wouldn't worry about it on stock wheels. I did rub a bit up front though when turning which made a popping noise when the wheels were at full lock in either direction (I forget what exactly was rubbing but it's nothing major and it doesn't do it any more). If you don't have that you should be in the clear, and if you do then it'll rub itself away.

how much do spacers go for?

It varies but I got mine used (looked brand new) for $45. New they can be anywhere between $65 and $150 depending on what you're looking for.

"Store"

Are you telling me that the front will sit lower in one or two weeks ? I hope my rear won't...cause it is already quite too low for a winter setup to me eyes...

Please have a look to how it sit 2 days after the installation:

By the way, A3 GUY your A3 looks "Simply Clean"

I don't know why, but the second I saw this pic, I knew it was taken in Montreal (or in the Greater Montreal Area)... which dealer is that? I know it's VW but still?

You're right man !! It s near Montreal, exactly at Saint Bruno de Montarville. The name of the dealer is "Les automobiles NIQUET", one of the most popular if not THE most of the south shore of Montreal.

I work here as a sales rep.
