Stasis SS Coilover Owners.. rubbing on 19's? How low should I go?

**muffinman** · 05-05-2008 02:07 AM

I'm getting Stasis SS coils put on my car sometime this week and was wondering what ride settings / height you guys are running on for both F/R

I've seen AZ'ers do 25.5" F / 25.75" R and 25.5/25.65 but they all had 18" rims. Love the stance at those settings but was wondering whether they would rub too much on 19" x 8.5" RS4 reps wrapped in low profile 235/35/19 tires.

Trying to find a good mix of looks and rideability

Any personal experiences or pictures?

Thanks

24.75 no rubbing. Custom offset. 265/30 19x10 in the rear and 235/35 19x8 in the front. I would suggest no lower than 25.00 all around. It seems to ride better.

Peace

Finally getting a drop! Can't wait to see the pics...and go get a trunk lip spoiler too to finish it off.

Thanks sevenstarz, wow, 19x10 @ 24.75" and still no rubbing?

Autoverruckt, haha, yup, it's about damn time.

So, is the general consensus that I can go lower than 25.5"/25.625" with no rubbing on 19's? It'd be nice to see some pics of 19's running on or near that height setup.

how do u guys measure the ride height in the US? inches from the floor to the top edge of the wheel arch?

I appologize for cutting into this post but I am also considering the Stasis SS Coilover kit for my A4. I have heard very good things about the ride quality however I do not want a slammed look. I'd prefer an S4 ride height or bit lower. Ideally I would like the wheel gap to be even all around the tire. I'll be putting on V708 18" 8.5 38mm RS4 reps on it with 235x40 rubber.
Any suggestions, opinions photos would be greatly appreciated.

You don't say where you are but IMO the purpose of an Audi is to get you through all road and weather conditions. I would be careful about going too low.

**klem74** · 05-12-2008 10:44 PM

I live in Chicago area so yes I will have to live through snow and spring pot holes hence 18" wheels. I also forgot to mention that I will most likely never take the car to the track.
I read some posts saying that springs and shock combo might be a better solution than a coilovers but the cost is not that much different and coilover kit seem to at least be more flexible.
Does anyone know how high can I go on Stasis SS?

Ride Height Adjustable
You can lower your car a minimum of 1” (25mm) from factory settings. The kit allows further adjustment of up to 2 additional inches*

So just lower then the sport suspension is.

You're right about CO's not being much more than Springs/Shocks (at least where I live). Better to go with CO setup given price is close.

Thx for a quick response! Unfortunately my A4 came with standard (Buick like) suspension so it makes it even harder to calculate what the final (Stasis SS) setup will be like.
Can the ride height be measured from the road up to the fender? If yes then does anyone have such measurement at the highest setting for Stasis Street Sports?
Thx again.

Getting my coilovers fitted tomorrow, so would be good to know what figures you lot are throwing around
