Lowering pics ?

Featured Replies

Hi guys.

Does anyone have any pics of their A3 lowered 40mm ? 
Want to see how low a 40mm drop is.

Thank you. 

A cautionary bit of advice if lowering 40 mm I would suggest you get as high quality springs as possible. I lowered mine on 40mm springs it dropped way more like 60mm. Just be careful and stick with H&R or the like. 

Depending on your model of Audi, you could fit s line springs and shocks which would lower it 30mm. 

Don't forget to get your tracking down after you fit any lowing kit. 

Cheers

Steve

In that case you should have done form of lowered suspension as standard. My advice if you're changing springs then get the matching shocks for the lowered springs.

Yea the back is low it the front is sitting a iv higher 

If it was the other way round front low & back higher it wouldn’t have bothered me

That's odd as it should sit level. You've not had a spring snap on the rest have you? 

No springs & shocks are fine
