Normal height vs Droped

[Reich]

Not sure what to choose. I'm getting tired of the car being hit from under. Like you go to the restaurant with your girlfriend and every body on terrace stare's at you when your car goes SCRACH while entering parking. The thing is i never drived the car normal. I bought the s droped. My question is, did you feel a big difference between normal and droped, performance wise? I don't remember the look at normal also. We have bad roads over here in quebec. What would you do? Thank's guys.

Learn how to drive?

Its not rocket science to figure out how to dodge potholes and other stuff.

Yeah i know what you saying but i'm like zigzag on roads to spare holes and bumps. Peoples are like what the f..k is the quatro for? There's some roads that simply nothing to do but slow down over bomps while others waiting for you in the back. I think i'm too low.

[OldYella]

Lets trade, Im in the Imola famiily as well.

I may be raising my coilovers a little bit because I'm sick of it too. Are your CO's adjustable? I'm sure there's a happy medium between where you are and stock height

[infinkc]

yea your car looks really low, id raise it up a litte more, but def not back to stock height

[GramCracker]

stock ride height? whats good? monster truck?

To OP, I'm in the same boat. But I love my car with H&R CO's.

[Firefighter637]

Car looks good. I would raise it just to feel better about speed bumps and potholes. I could see how that would get annoying. It will still look dropped too. Can't miss that yellow though!

[Bee Five]

I like the drop but don't like to idea of scaping anywhere. You should slow down and take all speed bumps and driveways at a 45 degree angle. Hopefully your suspension came with some wrenches that will allow you to adjust the height.

[S4 John]

raise it up to 25" all round. in my old s4, speed bumps would kill me. the body would lay on the speed bump and drag across. it was on like 3" high too, lol.

Go stock height with some 18 rims it looks great right Gram?

jk

[RolledMySTi]

Nice S Reich. I like the wheels and the chrome lips look great with the sport mirrors.

As for the ride hight I think you are going to extremes. Don't send back up to stock hight, just raise it about 1/2". You'll be amazed how much less scraping that will do.

[Dr.Duct]

If it makes you feel anybetter I slammed my front end on the ground last night and.... pop their goes my coolant all over the place.. It was right as I pulled into the race track as well.

What is your car riding on, coil overs or shocks/springs ? More importantly, what is your fender ride height ?

[S4CO]

I feel your pain. My car has also always been dropped since I got it, and I also bottom out and scrape speed bumps constantly. The roads around where I live, (Denver) are pretty good so I just don't take the S where I know I will scrape or just park really far away in a parking lot in the rows before all the speed bumps.

[nateS4]

I'm in the same boat as you, I bought the car with H&R springs and Bilstein struts and it's real low. MD roads are pretty good though, but steep driveways and high speed bumps I have to take at an angle and go slow. It's my second slammed car, so I'm good about NOT bottoming out. But I love the handling of the little lower/ little stiffer suspension.

You can see the scrapes underneath from the dips and driveways in the city, gotta love Baltimore.

[gaspeedracer]

^^^^^wow man thats uber low haha. i know what the rest of you guys are feeling with the potholes and all ive scratched the bottom of my bumper one too many times already. im running eibach springs with vogtland struts. luckily, i dont drive to distant places often and i've learned the roads around my area quite well so the problem is not as big anymore.

[black00A4]

Just go H&R sport springs, I got them and the ride hieght and handling is perfect.

[GramCracker]

jk

It looks perfect that way.

BTW Nate, the car looks great man!

[2001S4CT]

nate get 10mm spacers to fill in a little bit of that gap

[Siena]

Wow, you guys are really making some sacrifices.

Why not just lower to 30mm? That's where I'm at, no scraping, ever.
Even on steep ramps.

[Overboostin]

I think I'm too low

No such thing

[Mattgfx]

get bigger wheels?

[Reich]

Ok thank's guys, you convince me. Now, Is it possible to raise the car a bit? I have bilstein sport shocks and neuspeed coils. Do you think a spacer exist?

[AMC]

if any1 wants to go back to stock height im always willign to give you my stock setup for your coilovers!!

Hahahahaha! If anyone needs to be lowered, its you.

[AMC]

oh stfu u tall goofy rich white as hell kid from greenwich lol

[s4quattro187]

Dosnt look that low to me.......get bigger wheels or go back to stock suspension.

[Daness373]

Keep it the same as it is. It looks hot. Otherwise go with 19" DTM RS4 wheels. Thats what i am doing : ) hehe
