Default what suspension do you have, offset, size tires, etc. When I had the

H&amp;R touring cup kit I was running too low in the back. 90# of stereo gear in the trunk. BUT, I removed a good chunk of weight by taking out the donut tire/wheel, jack, tools, etc.

Another AudiWorld member just installed the TCKit and it looks great. So who knows!

Anyhow. The rubber coil pack that I put in, only took 2 minutes to install. They helped keep the rear from rubbing horribly. After the install, I only rubbed slightly. It didn't help make the car appear higher. For that, I had to insert a rubber spring extender. I have all the stuff I bought, since I eventually switched to coilovers.

Are you coming over the the June GTG?

Default The suspension is from Nothelle (coilovers).

the car rides on 19 x 8.5 Et 45 wheels with 15mm spacers all around. I'm rubbing slightly on the rear fender bracket screws under hard compression. So even if it does not raise the spring at least it can limit compression.

coilovers are at the height max I'm guessing?

Default I'll be at the GTG in June....

I already bought the spring insert out of haste (Mr. Gasket 1287 High Performance Super Rubber Spring Spacer), but I may be interested in the rubber spring extenders.

Thanx
