    Hi guys, bear with me here as there's alot of moving parts that I'm trying to fit together .

    I have a s4 b.5


    I have a alcon/statis BBk 390MM, that I'm putting on the next few weeks . I just want to get everything tother and put everything all at once.c

    What are my options in terms of Loweing springs ? I'm looking to lower the car about 1-1.5 options .
    From my research, H&r springs would do or super sport springs


    Another moving part

    Wheels and tires

    My ideal size that I want to run. 19x9.5 wheel running 265-30-19. I know the wheels could be w huge variable but I'm looking at a few different brands that fit my budget.

    Am I going to have enough clearance to run the bbk, wheels and drop the car without any modifications ? I'd prefer not to roll my fenders nor do I want to run spacers.

    Thanks.

    Ok. with a 390mm Brake kit your biggest issue will be finding 19's that will fit. I have a 380mm stoptech kit, and my stock 19'peelers fit fine, so as long as you have those on standby (if yours came with 18's they wont fit over these brakes), You can install your suspension and brakes all at once and worry about wheels last. If you are looking for super low flush fitment then go with the super sports, they are on the stiff side speaking from experience. If you want a nice 1-1.25 drop that doesn't sacrifice ride quality as much go with the H&R sport springs. they are a happy medium between the H&R OEM and the Super Sports. Most guys run a 255-35-19 with this set up, but if you really want the 265 I would say an et 40 offset on 19x9.5 wheels. If you go with the 255 you can runt a et 35 no problem.

    Your right wheels are a huge variable. As long as circumference clears most 19's can clear bbk's either stock or with a 3-5mm spacer up front. Keep that in mind however, if you decide to go with a et35 offset as you might start rubbing. Hope all that babbling helped some.

    Thanks man, I apprecially your input as I do have my stock 19" peelers. I wasn't aware they could clear the BBK. If they possibly could, I'd invest in more suspension mods.
