Re: WTB: Lowering springs B7

honestly, with the number of reasonable quality coilover kits out there these days, I would strongly recommend you just go that route. set the ride-height you want, you never need to adjust them if you don't want to. just throwing springs in means you still have the original shocks, which are a wear item. my 2 cents.

agreed^ Just springs will make the ride terrible. Get a spring/shock combo, or coilover's.

YA I know guys i had kw v3s on my evo x they were great coils. My R34 gtr has teins coils and they feel alright now but whem cold out they r terrible... To stiff, A4 is a DD so figured springs would do, all I need is get rid of a gap partially . My suspension is Already stiff as **** :/ in my audi. Is the ride quality really that bad with springs? I had spring on my evo and felt good not to stiff before coils but every car is different. ��

It isn't necessarily that the ride will be awful (and realistically it is always a matter of personal opinion anyways).
I reckon that if the car is a 2006, it has at least 100K KM on the clock. By that point, the shocks are on their way out, and adding the compression of a lowered spring to them is not going to help. Even if you do the work yourself, you are going to need an alignment, which is $100. If your shocks **** the bed within a year or two, you're out the cost of replacements, plus alignment again (and potentially labor). When I did the swap in my B7 Avant (now boldie's car), it was a no-brainer to just replace it all.

Also, the pinch bolt on your steering knuckles may be an absolute nightmare to get out, so be sure to read up on that.
