Lowering your a4 can make the car look great and increase suspension performance for a night and day difference. your probibly wondering what lowering your a4 really does.Think of you a4 as a three thousand pound weight suspended above the wheels. When the car turns. The cars weight is shifted opposite of the direction by gravity trying to compensate for the force. We call this body roll. This is what you don't want if your looking for responsive handling. This happens because your car has a high center of gravity and a combination of soft springs. When you install our lowering springs, you bring the center of gravity down low, were it needs to be for that great suspension. This creates less resistance on the cars chassis in the turns. This is a instant result in quicker steering response and now you can really feel the road. The look of lowering a4 bring the car from the standard stock look to a aggressive road gripping European sports car.Now the wheel wheel area is deleted and is filled with all wheel. Be sure when choosing your suspension measure your ride height and wheel clearances. The suspension drop will be the amount from the bottom on the fender lip to the top of the tire. Be sure you have room. This is very important before you purchase your suspension. Definitely look into spring rates before deciding your suspension. Different springs have different rates, So be sure because this will affect the suspension of your a4 and the overall ride quality. Higher spring ratings will give you a tighter suspension but a stiffer ride. Softer springs will still increase your suspensions performance but will maintain a smooth ride quality.
Choosing your suspension will require some time and research for your personal preference. Doing it right the first time will save you a headache in the long run.
