lowering

[bamberjim]

Just had a Bilstein B12 kit fitted on my A7, lowers 30/25mm with Eibach springs and Bilstein B8 shocks, really please with the ride quality and looks, handles so much better now with the subtle drop..

i have a spare (new set) of Eibach pro-kit springs (to suit a A7 (had to buy another kit as needed the shocks also) if anyones considering lowering there car

Got any pics before and after? Always thought they were low enough but interesting to see the difference

got a couple of the arch gap difference (see below) will get some shots of the whole car later on. mine was running SE spec standard suspension. these were taken the day after fitting so should drop another 5mm once the springs have settled

Ah yeah that looks much better and forgot the SE was slightly higher. Mine looks a bit odd now I've changed to 19" alloys for winter but still happy overall.

looks nice... 255/40/19?

[M1tchy]

235/45 R19. They are the recommended spec as per the little pressure sticker on the drivers door. They are Dunlop winter sport 3D and can't recommend them enough.

these were what i was planning for winters (now on ebay), they are going to be to wide for 235/45 as they are 19x9

They look smart. Are you sacking winters completely now?
