    Lowered the A4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I picked up a set of Neuspeed sport springs for my A4 and got around to installing them this weekend. While I was at it, I also did all new rotors and pads. Was soposed to do the timing belt service, but the parts unfortunatly didn't come in time. Anyways, here are a few pics:

















    End Result (it has settled a bit more since these shots too):

    Well concidering you could put your fist in the wheel gap before and you can not now, it def is lower. This was only a few hours after the install and it has since became a bit lower. The ride quality is almost stock, so I am definitaly happy about that.

    Thanks!

    I had Neuspeed Sports on my B5 and it was a tad lower than that. I was on Bilstein Shocks on the lowest perch.

    Correction. It looks like a stock sport A4 rather then a non-sport. Remember, this is my DD. The S4 is much lower (as seen in the last pic), and actually still not that low in some eyes.

    Thanks man! It is a bit stiffer once you push them, being that they are progressive springs but the ride quality is not harsh whatsoever, which I like. And as stated, they have come down a bit more since these pics. I'll go grab a few more in a little while.

    Re: Lowered the A4

    I'm going with Neuspeed Sports combined with Koni Sports in the next week or so. Any updates on what the final drop looks like?

    My street doesn't get cleared right away and need snow clearance. Stock worn out Sports now and don't want to go too much lower than that.

    What would you guys recommend for a B5 with the Audi sport shocks? I would like to get rid of most of the wheel gap, a nice tucked look.

    Not for too much longer. I usually keep it in my fathers shop but he needed the room temporarily. It's going back there ver shortly, just ordered a full trans rebuild, fidanza flywheel and a bunch of other goodies :)

    It can certainly go lower, but it already eats tires like crazy. This is basically my happy medium.

    Re: Lowered the A4

    the A4 looks good but that S4 looks sick. My car is on stock sport suspension and looks a little lower than ur A4. I think my suspension is wearing out that so it might sit lower than it's supposed to.

    Paint the lowers! Side by side next to your S makes it need to be painted. It looks like 8,000 times better.

    I can't put my S in a garage, and I'm in CT very close to NY. Don't feel bad hahaha

    I'm on the Eibach Pro Kit Lowering springs, and it looks like mine sits lower:

    (pic was taken BEFORE the springs settled)

    i'll find a better pic of the angle/drop.

    In the spring (hopefully, if I can get my car back in one peace) I'll be on Tein lowering springs. I hope that it looks half as good as your car does.

    Hmmmf. Bummer, I was planning on taking advantage of the MJM deal on Billstiens and pairing them with some Nuespeed Sport springs, but it really doesn't look like much of a drop at all, and I think the race springs would be too much, I need this to be a daily driver and I live in a snowy area...

    Re: Lowered the A4

    This has def dropped since the initial install. When I saw it over the weekend it was a more noticeable drop than the pics might suggest

    You guys have to remember that although lower might be better look wise, up north we need some clearance for the snow. Noone looks cool getting towed out...

    Gotta do mine next
