Default You shouldn't!

YOU CAN NOT LOWER YOUR CAR TWO INCHES WITH JUST SPRINGS. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY, S-E-A-R-C-H T-H-E F-V-C-K-I-N-G A-R-C-H-I-V-E-S!!!! If you want to lower your car two inches, you'll need shocks and springs. H&R Race, or Neuspeed Race springs should give you a significant drop. Couple them with Koni or Bilstein shocks and you're all set. Better still, buy a set of H&R coilovers (better performance). If you want more details, TAKE THE TIME TO SEARCH THE FVCKING ARCHIVES. There is a TON of information out there, if you would take a minute to remove that silver spoon from your mouth and look for it.

You'll only end up replacing your shocks anyways. Why? Try SEARCH to find the answer.

Default Try calling Stratmosphere about Abt springs.

They claim 35-40mm drop, and imply that you don't need to replace your shocks. You'll have to call Strat (Pete's great to deal with!) to find out if they have a FWD fitment.

All in all, I don't know what to make of this information -- I didn't even know that Abt made springs for the A4, but they have a good name in other areas (and in racing.) On the other hand, I agree with the other repsonses you've gotten in this thread: lowering the car without replacing the shocks seems like a dumb idea to me.<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/abt_a4_suspension.htm">Stratmosphere Abt A4 suspension</a></li></ul>
