Here's the short story. 😉 2005.5 B7 A4 currently lowered too much with a Koni lowering coilover kit. Purchased S4 springs to replace the Elibach springs for less drop. 10MM v 35MM+

What's needed for this surgery?

I'm in Highlands Ranch anyone want to a good job at an affordable rate?

If the car is on coilovers there's no need to replace the springs, in fact that would do more harm than anything since the strut and spring would not be matched. All you need to do is adjust the coilovers up and get an alignment afterwards. Sounds like you bought the car with this suspension installed. Do you have the coilovers wrenches? If not you'll need to find someone who has koni ones and borrow them.

The aftermarket coilovers are not adjustable. The rear has sagged and causing tire rub on the wheel well. Gotta get them raised.

According to the dealer the springs should work.

If they're not adjustable then you don't have coilovers. You're best bet would probably be to just get a whole new cup kit (matched springs and shocks) or adjustable coilovers to swap in.

I don't want it lowered anymore. Sport springs 10MM is good enough for me. Adjustable = more drop?

thats typically whats considered a cup kit. if its as bad as you say it is, chances are the struts are probably on there way out or already done if the spring is sagging that low. or you have other issues. throwing an unmatched spring on those struts will only have you replacing everything again a few thousand miles down the road. Id suggest doing it right the first time. if i had to guess most cup kits probably dont lower the car much more than sport suspension, adjustable coilovers would allow you to set it where you want, again, if you had them on the highest setting they probably wouldnt be much lower than sport suspension. if youre looking to get this done on the cheap and just get the car driving, id look into trying to find someone who is selling a sport suspension setup.
