    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I wanted to see if there's any members in the DC/MD/VA area that have:
    1.Audi Q5 installed with just H&R 29001-1 springs. I want to see what the car feels like in both comfort and Dynamic mode (under Audi Drive Select)
    2.Audi Q5 installed with H&R 29001-1 springs along with Bilstein B8 shocks. I want to see what the car feels like in both comfort and Dynamic mode (under Audi Drive Select)

    Is anyone in the DC area have either of the above installed on there Q5? I just bought a 2016 Q5 3.0T and have already added a few items to it and this was the next step (along with Tint & painting Caliper black along with SLine decal).

    Added:

    Paint:
    1.Xpel Ultimate Clear Bra
    2.Ceramic Pro 9H Gold Package

    Interior:1.Added AndyGo Car Trunk Cargo Net Fit
    2.Moonet Professional Car Fittings Accelerator Brake Rest Set
    3.Audi Car Door LED Logo Projector Lights
    4.Added Windshield Sticker Shield (Easy Application, Removal and Re-application From Car to Car)
    5.Replace all internal Lights with White LED's (Foot well LED's included)

    Exterior:1.Add Audi License Plate front and back
    2.Added Sline Glove Box Storage Organizer
    3.Added tow hitch lock
    4.Added tow hitch tightener

    Do you have stock suspension or just the H&R springs installed?

    Weird that the ride is that harsh in the back seat. What height are you at? At the lowest setting it should only lower the vehicle from stock 1.6" up front and 1.8" in the rear.

    Lol yeah that's probably the issue. I'm as low as it goes in the back. And I think I'm at 28.75 in the front. Or maybe it was 29.75 idk. I'm low lol

    DrumnJuny,

    does your Audi Drive Select still work on your car?

    If you are referring to the adaptive suspension, the SQ5 comes with static so I didn't have that from factory. It will not work if you remove the factory dampers!

    Err, no bueno.

    Will see if someone has the KW HAS springs on a Q5 in the area. Want to get an idea of ride feel with ADS before pulling the trigger.

    Just a heads up. A little bit ago I had to raise the front springs on a Q5 with KW HAS from full low because the lower spring perch hit the wiring connectors for the shocks. It tripped a suspension malfunction warning light.
