Hi everyone,
After installing 19" rims and tires my car looks a little 'jacked up". Nothing too crazy, but I am seriously considering getting a set of lowering springs to make it look a little better.
I do have few questions though,

What springs would you recommend that would go with factory shocks, but wouldn't compromise ride too much?

What are your set-ups experiences (and any pics you may have)?

What should I know before getting it done?

Thanks in advacne!!

I used H&R Sport springs for mine. I too had 19 in rims. This looked pretty good to me, and the ride was not too bad. It did give the car a little stifer ride, but it wasn't unbearable by any means. And as requested here are a couple pics.

This looks very nice. Did you just change springs or shocks too?
Any issues rubbing? And did they have different "lenghts" of lowering or just one size fits all type of a deal?

kemer, those pics in your post look better than your sig. =)

here is mine, H&R's, on 20's. Yes, I rub here and there, nothing to worry about.

Check my pic poster to see my Eibachs on stock shocks. 2 inch drop. The H&Rs seem to be a tad lower from looking at kemer1's pics.

It looks really nice...
I've read somewhere that H&R is a bit stiffer than Eibach, so I am considering Eibach.
How is the ride on Eibach vs Stock suspension? I am really afraid that it will make it very rough.

I put Eibach's on a 2006 A6 3.2; drop was ~1.5 inches, ride was only slightly affected - at the same time I had Koni FSD dampers installed; excellent ride and handling wothout any appreciable affect on ride quality. Also, I didn't need to have the alignment altered, which was a bonus....
