I want to post pics. But the wheels aren't on like i said b4. i still have some work to take care of before i set them. I will def. post pics as soon as its finished. Even with all the suspension suggestions, im still a little weary about dropping the car too too much. The wheels are 18' x 9' with 235 40R 18 rubber. Its a larger size tire than most everyone on here. *(RUNNIN 225) I don't know, i may end up going with the sport springs and Koni shocks. I see some of the rides in the wheels and suspension thread and can't believe that some of those guys aren't rubbin or have any problems. Some of those whips got like a 1/2' to and 1' gap...

If your a daily driver and want just a clean drop I would highly suggest Tein basic dampers. They are basic coilovers, and great for daily driving but keeping a comfy ride. I mean it will obviously be stiffer but its still moderatly comfy and the idea of adjusting ride height is way better. I have seen people with spring and shock combo that when it finally sets they dont like it and then you can adjust.

no doubt 12vs do look nice with some cosmetic mods. i especially like the part that sticks out like a sideskirt which they deleted on the 30vs. pls put up pix man. we've all seen tons of a4s but it warms our hearts to see another one lol

I'll feel better posting the pics when everything is done...what to you guys think this is! Screw the pics! SCREW EM!!

Ok ,ok back to the matter at hand. As cole A4 stated I am just a daily driver. This thing won't be hittin the track anytime soon so i don't want to give up too much that smoooooooth ride. And yes as you all know it is that smooth (PPL love that ****, especially the hunnies, no offense to the females in here). But i will not, absolutley not put the wheels on unless done correctly, with the correct drop. I'll look into those Tein basic dampers see what i cand dig up. Alsd looking at these:

which QuattroA4 has reallt been helping me out with. Big ups to him and his ride.

Sorry for the rant, i was just playing b4. I get in one of those moods every so often, especially with the GD rain!
