Default 2013 A7 w Eibach Springs!!

So, after reading many threads about H&R and Eibach Springs I decided to go with the Eibachs because of the more subtle drop.I couldn't be more happy! The car looks and handles great! The 7's look so good out of the box they don't really need much else done to them. The ride quality has only diminished by about 5-10%. I have 5mm Spacers all around, but feel it needs more. Funny thing the shop where I had the springs installed said that the drop was so subtle that the alignment was still in spec..? I will have it checked again in couple days after the springs settle a little. So if you're looking for a slight drop.. the Eibachs are the way to go.

Sometimes they say that (still in spec) because they don't want to align it, my car had to be realigned twice, after the first time I noticed the rear left tire toe considerably more in than normal, better check it with another shop.

Definitely, I figured that.. I'm getting it checked by another shop tomorrow.

Yeah, I think it's the angle of the pics. I have the sport suspension so I think the drop is much less than advertised. Didn't measure it beforehand, but it only seams to about a 1/2 -3/4 in. It should settle a bit more.. but I'm happy with it the way it is anyway.

Here are some better angles to see the drop..(Yeah I know I need to clean my garage)

Compared to my garage yours looks as clean as a surgical operating room.

Do you have any before and after pics with the Eibach Springs? Would like to see the comparison.

When you say the ride quality diminished 5-10%, are you simply referring to a stiffer ride?
