Default Cosmetic Mods

Just wondering if anyone of the forum has lowered their Q5 on H&R's and if they've installed wheel spacers?
I really like the look of Actunings Q5S project vehicle and I can afford the reduction in ground clearance.

Also any other popular mods are worth mentioning...:0

I'd be interested to see some spacers installed. I won't lower my SQ but it could use some better offsets. My ET25 winter wheels are certainly an improvement but I think another 5mm might look better.

I've been hemming and hawing H&R springs as well. I will be interested to see what the results are.

H&R can get about 2inch if fully settled and depends how much weight you carry everyday. spring ratio will fall over a period of time. its just like my old car. they say its 1.5inch drop but look what happen. this goes to coil over as well.

I have 12.5mm in the rear on ET25 and there's about a 1/8th inch poke from the fender. I like it a lot. No spacers in the front and its about the same. 20x9.5 ET25
