    Springs, Hr OE or Sport

    Quick question, looked at lots of pics here and unsure of which way to go. Will be running 20" x 10.5" et27 all around with 275/30. If I go to sport springs will I rub with the extra .3" drop? Seems inconsequential that amount of difference, Mops setup with OEs looked perfect but I've seen others where it looks like it should be dropped more.
    Thanks all. B8 S5 4.2

    I'm running 20x10.5 et30 with 275/30s on coilovers. Not sure what the drop is on h&r sports, but I should be equal to or lower and I don't rub.

    Go with H&R OE's as you have the 4.2 V8..pretty sure everyone will agree.

    OEs it is. Thanks, I was pretty sure this was the way to go but just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to still have a huge wheel gap

    You should end up with a 1 finger gap all around...OEs are great on a 4.2...not as great on the 2.0

    Not too great? Do you mean too high on the 2.0T?

    Yes, I think because the 4.2 is a heavier weight than the 2.0 you will have a reverse rake using OEs.

    I have H&R Sport springs and I'm going to OE springs. I like how low the Sports are but I'm worried they are too low for me though.
