All because you guys.

[Rondonia]

Ok. I was born in Brazil (lots of VW) I'm in the great USA for 8 years and loving it. I been reading this Forum for almost 2 years everytime I have a chance. Because you guys I got into the Audi / German cars. Finally last December I got my first Audi A4 2004 1.8t Quattro Sport package, 6 on the left leg, with no mods at all, very clean I'm the second owner. Anyway I want to lower and put some nice wheels. .

1 - What you guys recommed (Brand/Model) to lower it? And how low?

2 - Wheels - I would like to use 19" but lowering and using 19" which one will be better 19"x8.5, 19"x9 19"x9.5. Keep in mind this is my everyday car, and I don't want to run into problems. (if possible).

Please give your input on it. I'm pretty newbie to mods. But because you guys I got into.

I'll be posting some pictures later today.

how much do u want to spend on suspension and rims?

[Rondonia]

I would like to do one at the time. So first of all I should say, which one should I do first? Low budget as possible but as long as look nice. If the lower budget means look like S@#$ I'll wait save more to do the right way.

Get the rims first so you would know how much to lower your car. Then get the coilovers.

[italian a4 1032]

suspension first cause ur car will be a 4x4 with 19's most people seem to do bilistien shocks(i think that how you spell it) with h&r springs
the springs are 250 or u can get neuspeeds for 200 and the shocks are a little more then 400

suspension before wheels.

[NyteEscape]

i also agree w/ suspension before wheels...

bilstein sport shocks and h&r sport springs seem to be a good buy...

[El_Chapusca]

get Some BBS's

Come on man, you're smarter than that. (Unless you were being sarcastic).

If you get the coils first, then the wheels, you can adjust the height of the coils to fit the wheels. Difference is, you won't look like you're trying to turn your Audi into a donk in the meantime. "Audi ridin' high" doesn't have as nice of a ring to it.

I'm also fairly new to the forum, but I agree with most on here that you should go with the suspension mods first and then decide on your wheels.

I've also read on this forum that the H&R sport-springs combined with the bilstein shocks is a great performance upgrade yet still very comfortable for a daily driven car.

Wow...Now you hit the bird. I get it now. And the poor guy its from my state (CT). Ok I got it suspension first than wheels. Thanks everybody that help me if this question. But remember I want to get 19" but not sure if 8.5" or 9.5" and sugestions?

[italian a4 1032]

ive seen alot people go 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back but im sure someone on here can help you or someone in the rim and tire section

[El_Chapusca]

Hell yea suspension 1st without a doubt. You dont want to be looking like your going 4wheeling

Buy the suspesnion first. It will improve the ride quality, even on stock wheels. There are several good brands of coilovers that will work well for daily driving (and aren't expensive). Check out the Stasis Streetsports or the Vogtland coilovers from PureMS.

As for wheels, 8.5 would probably be the best bet, with a 235 series tire. As for the brand, its totally up to you (and your budget). I have Oettingers (in 18") and I like them, but there are probably people who don't. Wheel choice is very subjective; you need to get what you like.

Hope this helps

Best advice so far, do this, and then worry about wheels

[doublezero30]

i think you should run some 19x8 OZ classe's for wheels....actually i just happen to know someone whos selling them for a great deal
