The pictures with the Q5s head to head are to show the difference in the stock height (blue Q on right) with the ride height of a Q on H&R springs

Perfect drop. How's the ride with the new springs?

To be quite honest, if you didn't tell me it was dropped, I wouldn't have noticed any difference in the ride quality. If anything, I would say the ride quality is a little less stiff.

Looks nice. What size spacers did you use and are they all around?

I used 15mm H&R spacers from ECS only on the rears for this picture. However, I have since added 15mm to the fronts as well. 15mm all around IMHO is the best fitment for the Q5.

Very nice.

When you say that the ride feels softer, do you notice more or less body roll?

Honestly, the cornering feels the same. The only difference, IMHO, is that it is a little softer going over potholes, imperfections in the pavement, etc. Maybe it's placebo, but again, I think the ride is almost the exact same as stock

Looks great. That's a perfect drop. I've been thinking about getting the Stasis touring suspension package.

I took a look at it. Pretty pricey, but let us know how it goes
