who runs neuspeed race spring in winter?(with snow)

[doublezero30]

have you run into any problems being too low or anything? i just measured my wheel gap and its about 2 1/4" which is a little too high for my original plans of h&r sport springs which would leave about a 1/2inch gap. i want like a 1 finger gap. just not sure is neuspeed race springs will be too low for new england. any input appreciated (besides the 'get coilovers' comments. because i dont have the money, nor do i want to spend the money on them anyway.)

I remember a member, onepoint8tee ( if i'm not mistaken) who lives in WI, and he wanted to trade his race suspension for stock almost for free cause he couldnt drive ::)))
Now i got H&R Race and thinking how is that gonna be...
I guess we gonna plow a lot, but awd should help.

[doublezero30]

where did you get H&R race? i was looking around for them but couldnt find them...

[manhertm]

I was under the impression H&R didn't make race springs for the B6.

I got them from a Member here with shocks.
But mjmautohaus.com and ecstuning.com should sell them. Also ask Tony@AutoBan, maybe he would give u a good deal.

damn thats low! i dont even know if i like that...lol maybe you just need spacers to make it all better!!

[aaaudiprotein]

On shnap... Dont know what i was thinking about... These are NeuSpeed race.
H&R would look a little bit different cause front should be a bit lower, so it gives the car more race stable.

damn thats low! i dont even know if i like that...lol maybe you just need spacers to make it all better!!

A friend of mine gonna give me his 15mm spacers, but only 2... So i'm deciding where to put them on= front or rear...
And it seems low prolly cause of the 17".

I run Neuspeed race springs all winter long... in Florida. In all honestly they're not that low.
Edit: I also run a full Oetty style front and lowers.

You've never seen a snowbank have you ?

How about opting for coilovers and then just raise and lower the car with the seasons. That is what I'm thinking about doing.

I do..belly pan went bye bye..

NS Race; I'm already getting tired of the dumped look and they've been on for less than 6 months. I don't even want to think about what I'm going to have to do when the pow pow comes around, invest in a snow plow? LOL

About 24" (+/- 0.4 inches) all around:

oh my...that looks incredible. youve made up my mind on wheels. lol either that or waiting until vmr comes out with 18in gunmetals of the v710 HRE look alikes. and i was planning on getting black ecodes too...(i know youre are joeymoded..or at least, looks that way)

anyone with the neuspeed race want to measure from the ground to the bottom of the front bumper and/or sideskirt?

That's why i just saved some money and bought coilovers. Best mod i've done to the car. b6a4, how are you doing with no belly pan? I'm at 24 3/4" on 17's and have been wondering about my belly pan.

[aaaudiprotein]

I have no belly pan and im even lower than b6a4 cause i'm on 17". And i'm kinda afraid, i shoul get one :)

we get quite a bit of snow here in the rocky mountains every winter. i'm on stock sport suspension and had to replace both rear wheel-well liners this past winter because the snow just builds up. every time i went to get in the car i'd have to just dig out the wheels because the snow would freeze up overnight into an ice chunk, filling the entire well.

i lived in vermont for four years before colorado and the same thing was happening with sport suspension.

I've had to do the same thing only my rear wheel well liners are still there but I have a feeling they will disappear this coming winter.

I ripped off my belly pan last winter. I also ripped off half the undercarriage guards (the ones on the passenger side that cover our fuel lines). I have to fix them for I really like how the bellypan keeps the engine clean. esp with my new engine coming.

I run the stock 17" Avant wheels with snow tires in the winter. Gotta be diligent on cleaning the wheels and wheelwells. If the snow builds up in there (over night) then you're screwed. In addition to my snow brush, I carry a small piece of wood that fits between my B5 S4 calipers and wheels to keep my wheels clean. Otherwise they vibrate like crazy due to snow build-up.

And to think I want to go with coil-overs over my stock '02 sport suspension. Guess my thoughts are I can raise the car in the winter and lower it in the summer.

Let me know when you get too tired of that stance. I have an 03 sport but I think it's 02 suspension because the car is pretty low. We could work out a trade or something.
