Default suspension pictures

Does anyone have pics of a standard A8 with lowering springs? I have 20" wheels and would like to lower the car for the "look". I would like to see if the price is worth the effort. Would coil overs lower it more than just springs?
Thnks

When you put 20" wheels, it automatically makes it look like you have larger wheel gaps....

I know what I like! ;-)

Default Thanks for the pics and my final assesment

So lowering it with Eibachs, 1.2" drop, and the 20" wheels with 245/35/20 should clear fine? It should sit similar to an S8 with 20" wheels. Thanks. I will post pics when I return from Iraq in three weeks.

Default Thanks!

Now that I'm an empty-nester, as of a couple of weeks ago, and have room in the driveway, I need to get going on the serious garage makeover. If I my act together, it should be done by the end of October, and I'll post pics.
