As proud owner of a new 2008 blk avant s-line over the summer I'd like to thank all of you in this forum for all the tips, mods and photos. It's been great reading all these informative posts and I hope to contribute every now and then.

Here's some photos of my ride:

man, those pictures really make me realize just how much i need to rob a bank to afford some coilovers...

Yeah it looks clean but needs a drop asap

Nice car and color!

tint the windows and get a drop or some 19"!

Great by btw!

I'd like to drop the car a bit, but not too much as I frequent the mountains in the winter for skiing, plus babies frequent my car too so ride can't be too stiff. Any recommendations for a balance of lowering ride height plus comfort? Many thanks in advance.

beautiful car.

yes, stasis streetsports coilovers = adjustable ride height + improved handling + better, yes better, ride quality than OEM sport suspension

DO IT!

Man, I just realize how bad I need a detail by looking at your pictures. So fresh and so clean

Car looks really good. I love avants. I've been driving around in one while my car is getting serviced and I LOVE it.

PNW avant here as well, yep, mountains from Mt. Hood to Whistler. (Live by Mt. Hood). Have the Koni FSD/Eibach pro kit (shox.com and others) and am very happy. It's a moderate drop with a comfortable ride. Unless you're off roading on 2 rut roads a lot (fire roads, etc.) you'll be very happy with this setup. Comparing it to S-line loaner cars that we get on occasion (your suspension), it's slightly more comfortable, so no worries about a harsher ride. To put it another way, it's my wife's daily driver, and we both find it quite comfortable, the FSD setup is great for that. She did notice the slightly lower entry when she was pregnant, (the car started out life as a "4x4" stock (non-sport) suspension) but as long as you're looking for a moderate drop, and don't have too many sharp crested driveways you enter and exit up there in YVR land, you should be very happy. You'll want to approach sharp angled driveways with caution with any of these setups, but then again, my friend complains some of the driveways around here scrape his stock Dodge charger, so guess it depends how sharp angled they are where you live. If you must have adjustability, then the Stasis streetsports are a similar system and would be excellent, but if you want to set it and forget it, the koni FSD/eibach pro-kit is set at a good compromise ride height for comfort/sport, is all weather capable, and is very comfortable.
