    Did you leave the perch out of the back? I am sad to see that the HREs are not on in these pictures! Looks good, though. I finally got my coils dialed and had my alignment done today. Much happier with the ride over my stock suspension.

    Car looks just like mine but a bit lower! If you want my opinion: raise the rear in the front just a bit, equally. Keep a bit of rake, face down ass up; that's how my car sits and I love it, really aggressive.

    And yes get rid of one of the plates and get that plate holder.

    screw all the people saying it's too low, it is your car. My last car was that low and I loved it. My A4 now is set at 24" ground to fender and I have yet to bottom out. Tucking tire, but still practical

    if Chi-Town roads are good enough for u to ride that low, then do it and keep it that way.

    agreed with previous statements. A little too low for my liking. raise just a bit. Plus that low is almost a worry to drive (in my opinion)

    Wow! I drive to much so my drop is reasonable. I could never drive like that without wondering what parts I'm leaving on the road behind me. Crazy low.

    "Too low" "crazy low" Wow, a lot of you have obviously never been in the VW scene... this is a lift for most of those guys. Looks great OP, if you can fit a finger in there its too high imo!

    Are they sitting in the garage? Are you having fitment issues due to the tire size? Just curious.

    Your car isn't even that low!

    Damn that is low for a b6. my front was right around 24-24.5" GTF before and I couldn't even make it over speed bumps without hitting my subframe. I've heard the "you have to learn how to drive low" many times before and I was going SLOWWW. Don't know how you could drive around like that though.

    yeah they're sitting.I had the right size but the place I went to stretch the tires they couldnt do it and I spend 140 for the ****** to dismount, mount, and dismount again.
    The front fenders are a problem but Im hoping to sell some stuff so I can buy better tires for stretching.

    Not the first low audi that I have had and I drive super slow on bad streets and mostly take a the good streets that I know my way around.
