Hi all!
I am proud to say that I have finally installed my Rev Motoring lowering springs for the B6/B7 Audi, and I LOVE THEM. Hopefully this review will help those that are on the fence with lowering their B7 A4, but are trying to stick to a budget. My main selling point on these springs was that they were designed to be installed with the factory struts/shocks, and that they were designed in a way to create front rake for the B7, which is what all B7's deserve So, without further adieu, here is my review!
Impressions:
First off, I will say that I have the sport suspension, so this review is little more relatable to those that have the red sport shocks and struts. These springs are very well made from their appearance and they are 100% made in the USA! (big plus in my book!). The fitment was perfect on all 4 corners, no issues whatsoever with the installation of these springs. Overall, A++.
Ride Quality:
These springs are excellent. They are definitely stiffer than factory, but they still have some give to them that makes them comfortable; it is a healthy balance of the two. I feel like my B7 is on rails now! Steering is very responsive and it hugs the road. You will feel more of the imperfections in the roads, but who doesn't when they lower their car?? This is to be expected, and did not surprise me. I feel these are the perfect solution for those that can't spend a ton on suspension but want to remove the wheel gap, and it's not a "cheap" option to just replace springs, it is very cost effective and achieved exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend these springs to any B7 owner.
Conclusions/Results:
I am incredibly satisfied and happy with the results. I can't wait to see if the springs settle a bit over the next couple weeks. I have included a ton of pictures below that should give you a good idea of what these springs offer for the B7 platform. Again, this is an install with sport struts and shocks, so it may be slightly different for those with standard struts/shocks.
I highly recommend these springs. 10/10 in my book.
Right Height:
Before: I was 26.6" front and 25.75" in the rear.
After: I am now 25.4" front and and 25.5" in the rear. So that is a 1" drop in the front and 1/4" drop in the rear. Pretty much the same measurement all around, give or take an 1/8", but it definitely gives the car the appearance of front rake. Which makes it look sooooooo goood!!

Yes I know my bushings are all shot, I didn't have time to order in replacements. I'll do this later in the year. I did install new upper strut mounts, so that's good.
