Re: H&R race springs installed
How does it ride now that you have the springs installed? Lowering most cars 2" without new shocks usually ends with a bumpy ride.

Re: H&R race springs installed
Your car looks great! Do you have any problems with your tires rubbing the fender? Did they have to cut your bump stops when they installed the springs?

Re: H&R race springs installed
Your CW GTI looks great lowered. So much better then the stock 4x4 look.

Re: H&R race springs installed
That looks really nice I think that I have found the springs I want
Where did you pick those up at all I can find is the sport springs I found the race ones on the H&R site but there $350 |

Re: H&R race springs installed
how much ground clearance do you have now...meaning from the ground to the little black running board thing (i dont know what it is called). i think the stock look is too high

Re: H&R race springs installed
For me lowering my car does 2 things.
1. gets ride of unsightly wheel gap (of which the A5 has plenty) 2. improves handling and 1 inch for me isnt enough and unless potholes have a light bar and can issue me a ticket I could care less about them |

Re: H&R race springs installed
There are way to many potholes in NJ. It sucks even on the main highways.

Re: H&R race springs installed
No question the two inch lowering looks sick, but I'm afraid that the many areas around Dallas under construction would be too much of a beating.

Re: H&R race springs installed
The H & R sports are the perfect compromise for those of us looking for better handling, lowered stance, and decent ride. Some people have said it rides better on the sports than the OE's. One day...........

Re: H&R race springs installed
I'd lower it, but then the car wouldnt clear the curb if I park it straight in. I'd rather save myself from the potential damage. Plus, I don't really go to the circuits, so the basic handling is just fine.

Re: H&R race springs installed
Ditto. Looks great. I have been looking into this and have had coil overs mods suggested instead. what is the advantage of coil overs to just chaging springs? Parts alone for the coilovers is $1450.
