    Lowering Springs + Larger Wheels - Alignment Specs

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I wanted to get some input from you all that have installed H&R springs or KW HAS and have larger wheels on your Q5/SQ5 with regards to alignment specs.

    Have most of you been able to get close to the factory specification or were adjustable control arms required for the front and/or rear?

    If anyone has their alignment report post-lowering & wheel upgrade, that'd be awesome.

    I am glad you know how to use the search feature but if you were to look carefully, the postings you found are for a completely different platform.

    It seems like you're sort of asking two separate things. For alignment, the 2" drop with the H&R springs should let you get just within spec in the rear and just slightly out of spec in the front for just camber. For wheels and tires, if you're keeping roughly the same overall diameter then that shouldn't have any impact on your alignment (the scrub radius though yes if you're changing offsets).

    Here's a good thread on alignment: To lowered Q5 owners... Did you align ok?
