    B7 A4 ride hieght to fender

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys, I just had a quick question for you because I am in a bit of a bind.

    I have a new set of rollers comming in from Japan, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. The offsets are within spec of typical audi offsets, close to the fender but not too close. Well they are not gonna be here for another 3 days, and I have a show to roll into on Friday, meaning I'll get the tires mounted in the morning and installed and then roll in. So adjusting the coils is something I would like to aviod, but I wanto be low enough to not have to really adjust them down any further in the future either.

    I am in the process of installing my coils right now, and would like to generally know where you guys are sitting as far as hieghts from the floor to the fender. I desire a slammed look, something as low as possible but still pretty easily driveable. So I'm just curious what you guys are running and if you have some side shots.

    Might be a good idea for future newbs like me as well to show what your running as well.

    Sorry if this has been covered, but i post first and search second. lol

    Thanks in advance
    Greg

    I'll try and measure my height for you soon Greg...the height where I'm at right now seems to be the right height for me for that slammed look but still driveable.

    Dude - your car looks rude as I said in your main thread. I'm getting my coilovers fitted tomorrow & it would be great to know your ride height

    From eyeballing it, the car above looks like 24.5R, 24.75F. This is my car at 25.25R, 25.5F.

    I think you should grow a pair Gregory and lower it like a man. I recommend 22.75" front and 21.5" rear.

    As long as there have been penises, there have been ways to compare size without actually measuring them. LOL

    Well, not all wheels can tuck. Those that can't can't go much lower than 25" which is where I was before I had to raise it as I rubbed like crazy. I'm at 26" front and 25.5 rear on FK coilovers.
