Whats up guys, im new here!
I just got the 08 Audi A4 S-line.. The car is great..
Anyways, i wanted to drop the car and was wondering about
what springs would work best. Yes im going the cheaper route and
just getting the springs (its a leaser, im not tryin to spend too much $$).
I was told from H&R directly that they were not sure if the 07's
and the 08's were the same and they couldnt tell me what springs would
work with my new car. Does anyone know by experience what would work
for me? Please let me know!
Thanks! [drive]

My car was dropped al lot as well (you can see pics of it in the car picture thread up top).. i had H&R sport springs in my 04 audi.. that pic is a little old, i got diff wheels since then.. but urs is way more lower than mine was.. and i never had any problems putting anyone in my car.. whats the width of ur wheels?

hmm.. im not sure exactly what i have on my car.. i do know that my 04 audi picture on teh picture thread had 19''x8.5 wheels.. and still never rubbed.. are you using spacers? that may be your issue..

im now sitting 24.5" ground to fender all the way around... idk what the stock height is... and as far as spacers go i had them in the back but had to take them out immeadiatly... so there arent any in the back only in the front so the wheels would clear the calipers... but only the backs rub
