[a4sdaride]

running 19's on sline and springs were installed and the front is extremely low the space is less than 8mm and the rear is about 20mm. can anyone explain this ??? any feed back will be appreciated

[Bllzll]

honestly, i think springs are springs. you cant do anything about it. but i know everyone else is going to say it so i might as well..

pics please

Actually (in addition to pics), I think what everyone else is gonna say, is what I'm about to say......two words bro:

COIL OVERS!

I know I know, sometimes people don't have enough $$ for CO's, but if you're at all able to save up for 'em, be patient and don't go for the first option you can afford.

Hopefully someone will know how to fix your current parts, but if you can't get a solid answer, I'd sell the springs and try to put that towards CO's. My 2 pennies.

Are they for your car? They might be for a A4 that has a lighter engine. Therefore your heavier engine makes them sag too low. What's the ride like?

I was reading last night they should lower front by 1.5inch and 1.4inch rear or something like that.

Mine looks like that as well. I am pretty sure that they are the same springs as what I got with my cup kit. I really wish the rear came down lower. They should settle a bit, but not much.

CO's the way to go. Or shocks and springs combo. SPrings alone...good luck buying new shocks in 10,000 miles. By the time you're done, you going to have spent enough money to buy coil's/shock + spring + installl.

H&R springs are like that in all of their applications.
They are better suited for the enthusiast who seeks improved handling and not "the perfect stance". If you wanted better handling and a better looking stance you should invest in a set of coilovers.

Yeah, that's what I was told about my cup kit. It puts more weight over the front, since my car is FailWD and the sport cup kit set of springs and shocks is only for front wheel drive audis

[gpxluke]

Yeah the front is lower than the rear...but it's not that big of difference in between though...i have about 3/4 finger gap at the front and 1 finger gap at the back...I am running shocks&springs though

you have to let the springs seat properly before have a panic attack. give it 2 weeks.

You forgot to mention that a "better-looking stance" would also probably offset whatever handling improvements you could have gained by installing coilovers.
One way you might be able fix this is with a properly setup alignment.
