Did you get the right springs for the right car?

[mkturbo3]

give it some time to settle in im sure it will drop lower withing few weeks

[washyourrhands]

give it some time to settle and get bigger wheels

Wait, what shocks are you running with them?

You should be using OEM sport shocks (not good idea, replace while have it apart) or better (bilstein, koni etc) sport shocks (shorter length).

I have eibachs w/ f bilstein, r konis and my car is way lower than that.

w/ wide 225/40/18 et 32


oem 16" w/ thin 205/55/16 et 45

I have the eibach pro kit on my a3 and i have about a one finger gap. So idk why your gap is so large.

[andernalin_junk]

the gap is 3 fingers on front and 2 on the rear ...
standart shoks (according to Eibach the pro-kit should for this shoks )

Bigger wheels ? ahah in running 225/45/17... enough for me at this moment
you really think that the car will drop more ? it's been more then a week

Shocks have no barring on ride hight the spring do that.

I'm running the same springs, with Bilstein Sport dampers (yellow) and my car sits way lower.

It took time to settle though, but even after getting the car off the ramp, it never sat so high.

just wondering if the springs are the right ones for your car - i.e if you bought springs for an S4 and installed on a 1,8T quattro, it'll act as a lift on your lighter car.

Similarly, if you installed springs intended for a 30V V6 FWD on a 1,8 SE, it'll sit higher too...

i've check that and my springs are for FWD 1.8T (cat num E1532-140)
we've tried to contact Eibach thrue the local deal ... let's see what they will replay
