Default lowering w/out coil overs?

Is it possible to just buy shorter springs without replacing everything else? I have a 1997 Quattro. would sport springs lower it at all? I'm not really liking the 4x4 look

do you have the sports shocks???? if not you'll be fine for a few months...sports shocks last about a year with new springs from what i read, could be wrong...

If you put JUST springs on your car... You know those stupid ricers that you see driving down the road that are bouncing? That'll be you.

If you're going to lower your car, do it correctly... Have the proper struts to compliment your spring choice, and have a camber kit if neccesary (When you lower your car, this creates negative camber naturally... This is fine, except for your tread life. A camber kit is basically a swivelling ball joint bracket, so you can adjust your camber to a proper setting.) otherwise the car will probably handle worst than stock.

I would HIGHLY suggest the Koni Sport Suspension ($548 for the complete kit for your car), this comes with the Koni "Yellow" Shocks (Fully adjustable), and the Koni "Blue" Springs, which will lower your car about 1.75". I've used Koni one every car I've had, and I've never had a complaint.
