recommendation for lowering springs

**garamvishal** · 06-09-2016 07:56 PM

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2012 A4 Avant thats coming up on 65k miles and wanted to lower the car while i replaced the struts. i was wondering if you guys might be able to recommend a good set of lowering springs for the car? I don't think i need coilovers, since i am just looking to close the wheel gap that i have now. any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're planning on replacing the struts and looking for a mild drop you should consider the Bilstein B12 pro kit. It's a nice set-up for a daily driver and really firms up the car.

Recently installed this set-up on my avant and I'm very satisfied.

how much of a drop did you guys get on the b12 setup?

+1 on b12 kit....

i second avantagg's opinion

if you want adjustability go coilovers. PSS10 has great reviews

THanks @kdaffy, i would greatly appreciate the measurements.

also, is this the kit that you guys are referring to? https://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_A4....0T/ES2983801/

yes that looks like the one. Part number for avants is BIL 46-183354. ajusa (where I and others have purchased) is also another source, as it seems like ECS is out of stock
