The cost of lowering a car?

[royclark]

So the original specifier of options must have opted out of the 30mm drop , I've read some posts where people say they done this when ordering car from new ...

That is true Gup, 20mm was standard s-line with the option (at no extra cost) of 10mm more = 30mm.
Thank you for this interesting info.

Do you have side-on pics of your car Gup, that shows the arches off?

Here's a wide shot ...



This is not a crop of above but a zoomed in shot from same distance ...



Now you also have Chris's measurements with 19's on a 30 mm drop and Roy's 18's on a 20mm drop ...

Now here is some stock Audi tyre/alloy combos ...

225 / 50 / 17 ............................... 245 / 45 / 17 .............................. 245 / 40 /18 ................................ 255 / 35 / 19 ...............................

That's why.

Lol

A SE with sports suspension (like mine) will have 20mm drop from standard SE suspension ...

Thanks for posting the pics & info. The 20mm might be enough for me you know. I wouldn't mind seeing Chris & Jim's side on shots - Chris' s to decide definitely between 20mm & 30mm; Jim's to see if buying wheels first & then saving for the drop later would be an option. I think I can find a snap of them in the show n shine section.

looking at the difference in our wheels - Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

Mine 245 40 18 v Chris 255 35 19

Chris at 30mm drop + 4mm (1/2 dia) wheel/tyre difference = 6mm less ground clearence difference from 20mm drop on 245 40 18 tyres @ 40psi.
