Default New wheels and lowered!

I've had this set-up on for about 3 months now. Finally got around to taking a few pics. I like the set up a lot. The springs have definitely firmed up the ride and handling. I'm happy with the look and ride of the wheels and tires too.

Default Looks nice. But what is the ground clearance now, especially the front end?...

With the OEM standard height, the front end overhang can easilly scrape the ground when coming down a slope or when you park against a sidewalk or bumper. Just curious as I use my adaptive air suspension on my '06 A6 Avant to raise the front end to prevent hitting and scraping (which has already happended).

Default The springs lowered the car about 2". I am definitely more careful on steep driveways etc.

But it's not that bad. I've only scraped a couple times on the plastic belly pan.
