Default Hows the ride quality of Neuspeed sport springs and bilstien shocks?

I currently have H&R sport springs and i love them but they dont lower too much. Im thinking of swapping it with some neuspeed sports, but seeing pictures they look pretty low. Please give me some feedback on your thoughts and opinions. thanks

What's the cost of dropping one of these cars? Say with the Neuspeed springs.

You can get springs for about 250. Shocks will cost you 450 to 500.

Hey Bolo, does your rear sit lower than the front? Some have said NS Sports squat.

Default Not really...Car still feels tilted forward...

Even when it was still in Stock form...The A4's rear Wheel fender has a smaller opening ..thus giving it a slightly tighter wheel gap than the front...Obviously being that you still need to turn while driving and therefore requires the front wheel to have more clearance. The Front Bilstien shocks from Neuspeed have extra perches on the shaft to have more adjustments more closely match the rear's wheel gap.

With OEM sport bump stops, the ride is firm but nice.
