Default Eibach Lowering Springs; before and after

Thought I would share a few pics of my S5, before and after the installation of Eibach Prokit lowering springs. The springs lower the car 1" front and rear. I am also running H&R 20mm spacers all the way around. Shout out to Mason at GoodSpeed Performance in Scottsdale, AZ for setting me up.

Beautiful car! Do the rears look a bit lower in the pic? They should settle nicely after a couple weeks.

The Goodspeed guys do good work. They set up my A5 back in the day with some spring, an intercooler and an exhaust. Money well spent even though I have an S5 now.

Is there a reason you went with springs vs. coilover? I may pm you being local and I'm looking for a good shop to do my suspension/wheel/tire package.

I was told coilovers were much more expensive...I put the springs on mainly for ascetics. Goodspeed is a great shop, they work only on Audi's, VW's, BMW's and Subaru's. PM for contact info.

hey secretagent..one other point, if you have ADS you cannot install coilovers as they mess with the system dampeners...so I'm told.

They are stock 19" "five-tri-spoke" wheels.
