settling doesnt exist?

**Kronic Budz** · 12-24-2008 09:53 PM

ok i have a 1997 audi a4 2.8 and just put bilstien sports on with vogtland sport springs and was said to lower it 1.4 inch front and rear. I have seen about a 1.25 in front and 1 in back since now they are both even. 2-3 finger gap and doesnt seem any lower then stock sport. Why would this be?

btw coming from stock non sport susp. i have seen tons of people with aftermarket sport setups and they seem much lower then mine, does vogtland not know there shit about dropping a car...

here is a rolling pic my freind got on his iphone over richmond bridge coming back to the holidays.

car has not settled and i got the susp 1.5 weeks ago. i was told it might not settle and would only be 3/8 of an inch at most.

sorry only pics i got of it right now.

you need bigger wheels cuz

**Rhinop21** · 12-24-2008 10:10 PM

Bigger wheels won't do anything to the suspension but nonetheless you need new wheels. It looks the same height as my vogtlands... idk.

**njm23** · 12-24-2008 10:17 PM

how are you measuring the height? Possibly you and vogtland took your measurements different allowing different readings.

That's lower than my stock sport's up front, but I'm rockin the reverse rake.

you should let the suspension settle & see the difference.

also other company's rate is different so you really can't compare to other company out there. Do a search to see if any other ppls have use the same set up and ask them.

I would think that after 1.5 weeks and it hasnt settled, it isnt gonna get any lower.
