Lowering question
Have any of you who have lowered your A6 had many problems with ground clearance? I'm thinking of lowering and swapping out the stock suspension but I've just been reading the posts about bumpers being ripped off when parking over curbs and am thinking about the potential for this being worse! Keep in mind that this is my wife's daily driver and she isn't as **** as I am about going over bumps, curbs, etc.

People who drive nose over bumper with their wheel pressed against the parking block are...
...worthy candidates for an Oldsmobile and have no place behind the wheel of any Audi.
Look at my car, it does not bottom out so I think you will be OK.
Lowering your wifes car OTH???

I have been thinking of the same thing with my wife's A6...........
but she is not a cautious as I am. I am limiting the mods on hers to more cosmetic and maybe some performance, to lower it would be to give her the chance to tear something up.

You have to be careful with a lowered car...
I am and I still bottom out every now and then. I know for a fact my wife would not be careful, and if you're not, you'll have problems. I'd probably look at a stiffer shock and sway bars......but I wouldn't lower it.
