Anyone have H&R Sport springs installed?

[Allmine]

Hello everyone,

I was just looking to hear freom some people on if they are hitting the road when lowering their cars with the sport springs. I have a 2007 A4 standard suspension and I will be using stock shocks for now. I'm just a bit concerned that with the 1.5 to 1.7" in lowering that the sport springs do I will be scratching the front of my car. Can anyone tell me how their car is with the spring installed? I know it will look and drive awesone but don't feel like ruining the front bottom. Thanks in advance!!!

I also have 18 inch tires on...but that should be ok... What size tires do you have outlaw77? THanks

[outlaw77]

I have the stock 18" rs6's for now with 235 45 series tires.

i have H&R, the ride is a little bouncy, why i'm saving up for a coilover setup

With standard shocks??

[vtracer20]

yes with standard shocks....i drove my brother b6 a6 and he put kw v3 coilovers and they ride 100x better. the rebound is perfect. My shocks could be shot too...so i dont know

I'm on H&R springs and I've definitely bottomed out on speed bumps more than once. There is actually one speed bump I can't go over because it's too high and the frame of my car won't clear it.

i got mine installed like 2 weeks ago, no problems at all on my non sline shocks.

there ya go!





These are older pics and it has settled a bit more. I just got a set of 19" Sportec's. I'll post pics with that set up.

on H/R's with Bilstein's.... no problem at all.

[yeeeeee]

stock struts w/ H&R's... no problem whatsoever... dealer tech suggested i should prolly get some new shocks soon but whatever, i'll get em when they break =p.

defianately stiffer, not harsh though. It feels very well planted and sporty. No bouncing and I have never scraped over a speed bump

I'm running the H&R's w/Koni Sports on my B6 S4. Love the ride and handling. I was getting a little contact over dips until I removed the 12 o'clock screw and the plastic tab it goes through at the top of the fender liner. Now unless I really stuff it into a sharp bend and hit a bump midway through I don't hear anything. For daily driving it's fine.

im running h&r springs on stock non-sport suspension with the stock dual 5 spoke wheels. and my whole bottom front is scrathed and a clip broke off. damn pot holes in chicago are ridiculous though, so idk about other places.
