I have always felt my B7 Avant sits a bit high at the front, despite having lowering springs already fitted. I believe B5 spring cups may be the answer, does anyone have details of this modification? I had a look at partsbase and I can see the similarities but I am not sure what I would need to change and how much lowering I would get, any info would be appreciated :D.

It doesn't sit high it's just that the front arch is higher and for good reason .

If you lower it for forward rake you are changing what the lowered spring engineers designed .

I have noticed some spring manufacturers do a different amount of lowering front to back. I believe mine are the same all round and you are right I think the arch must be higher at the front, do you know why that is? Am I just stressing un necessarily or should I attempt to change it? To me I think the front is slightly high and the rear slightly low so I thought to look at resolutions towards bringing them closer together would be a good idea and more pleasing to my eye at least.
