can H&R springs lower the S8 to a more aggressive stance?

Default Re: Yea, 20 x 8.5 in frnt & 20 x 9.5 in rear and...Here's the article about that car

I actually talked to Lucille at BBS who helped him with those wheels and she said he had to modify his fenders to make em fit and the car was not very "driveable" as she put it. If you want a set just like his, they are special order, as if BBS isn't already enough cash!<ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/article_420.shtml">http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/article_420.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default My wheels are 19" Luff LM replicas. You can at least see what 19's would look like.

My suspension is Bilstein and Eibach Pro Kit springs.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-VW-JETTA-GTI-GOLF-06-and-UP-AUDI-A3-A4-LM-WHEELS_W0QQitemZ200209800703QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em200209800703">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-VW-JETTA-GTI-GOLF-06-and-UP-AUDI-A3-A4-LM-WHEELS_W0QQitem

Default TSHONG!

hi tshong,
looks amazing!
thanks for the link. 19" is good enough.
i wonder if a stock S8 is lowered the same amount as the eibach's did for yours.

can I get your email?
