Any chance you could give me some fender to pavement measurements? I'm dropping my car off tonight and don't know what to tell them as far as drop. If I go all th way at the rear, what should the height in front be?

Default definitely drop it as far as possible in the rear ...

it still won't be far enough, but that's a problem for another day ;-)

for the front, to get a one-finger gap on my car, we had to leave about 1.25 inches of thread visible below the perch, if i recall correctly (can't easily check right now because the front is too low to see that part of the suspension).

for everso and whoever else requested: here's a pic of the whole car. sorry it's not up to my usual standards but it's freezing out there and i have to run to an appointment.

Default that is exactly what i did with my H&Rs, my rear is dropped all the way...

we have even thought of taking out the adjustment part of the rears to bring it down a lil further

Default WHY would you want a 1 finger gap? You car will scrape and handle like ****....

BMW designs their cars to look LOW.... don't try to replicate that with your audi... it just f-cks the suspension... KW or not.

Default Utter truth. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about....

Since you're only into looking ghetto slammed.

Default yeah, what do i know ...

there are no scrapes on the front of either of my cars, negating your first point. as for your second, why don't you tell that to the folks at kw -- i'm operating within their specifications. but what do they know about suspension design -- i'm sure you could teach them a thing or two, right?

enjoy your coilbound pss9's.

for reference, here is ghetto slammed:

Default Aaaggggrrrrrrr...Very very nice man!

1 finger in the front is what I have too and it's the best to make it look agressive. Now your car looks awesome!

Default konig rated-r's 18x7.5 ... i think they're discontinued

for a really cheap wheel ($160 each i think) they've held up quite well -- no problems except for some minor pitting in the paint (fine for a winter wheel).
