lowering advice

**kwimberly** · 05-19-2008 04:26 PM

I have the stock 15's on my '03 quattro. Would it look ridiculous to install an OEM sport suspension before I get new rims (which might be a while)?

i would say no. it will look better and drive way better until you do get your new rims.

i think you'll be fine. i always think suspension before wheels is good order. i'm running the stock 17 five spokes and i'm pretty slammed (at least a little tucked all around) and i love it.

Old pic, nappy tires, but gives an idea. Don't get me wrong, I still want rims, but I don't think it looks bad as is.

Definitely get your drop before rims. Aftermarket rims + stock suspension = FAIL. I learned the hard way

here's my car on the stock 16's - slammed... just the way i like it

Why would it look ridiculous?

Remember that the stock sport suspension consists of more than just springs and shocks. You also need the sport sway and the strut-tower bar if you want to get the handling right.

I just didn't realize how much rubber and how little wheel I had - didn't know if lowering would make the rubber stand out that much more.

But - after the pics and advice from you guys - I think it's a winner. I appreciate the replies. Now, if only one of the people selling their sport susp. would freakin PM me back...

^you should know that I'm on KW V2's and not sport suspension.... you're not going to be NEARLY that low. same goes for a couple of the other pictures from just glancing at them
