Good afternoon everyone. Ok so I took my beautiful car to my local sport tuning shop to have an upgraded suspension from H&R installed. We discussed different packages and heights to suit my application. I requested that I have a livable ride height that can make the Sea to Sky (Whistler Vancouver) with no problems. I was steered towards the H&R coilover kit, fully adjustable suspension. Oh ya fully adjustable my but, the rear has no adjustment left but the front has a lot. I didn't want a snow plow, but thats what I got. Check it out and please leave me some suguestions or ideas....[confused]

Matrix Integrated is an advertiser here. You can PM him or just call the shop. here is a link to their site: Matrix Website - Ask for Jeremy (http://www.matrixintegrated.cc/)
I am not super farmiliar with the H&R stuff, but he should be able to point you in the right direction.
STaSIS provided me 1" thick spacers for the kit i got from them. So basically i can raise the rear of my car 1" higher than the original adjusters provided. I am driving a B6 A4 with the front ride height of 25.5" and the rear at 25.625". I'm sorry i don't really have any pics, but i have about 1" between the top of the rear tire and the bottom of the fender if that helps. I run this ride height year around as this was the ride height recommended by STaSIS for an aggressive street car. It also allows me to get around in the winter here in Colorado and get over most speed bumps.

Hi Pdot,
Send me an email and I can reply with some pics att'd of where the STaSIS StreetSport kit sits on a B7 A4, the white "spacer," etc.
The white plastic "spacer" rings that come in STaSIS' kit are really to aid in adjusting ride height. On the B6/B7 cars, we suggest an extra spacer (they're actually about 1/8" thick) on each side for the rear. The most you can run is two per spring perch.
HTH,
Jeremy

I have the spacers and the rear perches topped out and the tires are still tucked in the wells. It would be sweet if the rear perches could be raised more.

You will need to get the 1" thick CNC'd spacers from STaSIS to get it higher.

back
Obviously the front is ok. Thats where I would like it to sit. The back however is a little low. Remember the perch's are all the way to the top of the thread. [:(]
