Hey guys, so I got my '12 A4 S- Line a couple weeks ago,and I'm looking into getting some springs to lower it I saw the HR OE Sport springs, from what I've read so far I realize they'll wear out your stock shocks rather quickly. My first question is how quickly can I expect them to go out, given that I have the sport suspension with the S-Line pack. 2nd how noticeable is the drop and will it affect driving going up steep driveways and the like, as well as how will the ride be affected?

I have personally never heard of an Audi owners shocks failing because of adding a spring set. There are many owners who have over 50k miles with no signs of failure so I wouldn't give it a second thought.

The drop is ...
Front: 1.2"
Rear: 1.2"
although it doesn't seem like much it will definitely change the appearance and performance of you car.

It will be noticeable and you will need to watch your speed bumps and curbs a little more closely.

Alternatively you can take those corners a little more quickly.

Thanks! I guess now I've gotta go and figure out what I'm gonna do first, between an APR Tune, and the drop. Gonna be a busy few weeks might have to just take a drive up to APR after Christmas.
