Default Suspension Modification

Has anyone installed the H&R lowering springs or KW adjustable springs on their 2014-2015?

I get that in general lowering is a nicer look, but what I don't get is buying a wagon where the suspension has been specifically [higher] tailored for all roads. An Avant might be a better candidate. But that's just me.

Having said that, an adjustable suspension may be the best of both worlds. Or even better an air ride suspension mod, emulating the versatility of the prior allroad incarnation.

Your comment about why I want to lower my car is not what I was asking for. Your comment about the Avant also does not apply, since they do not make the Avant in the States anymore. If you can not answer my questions, why bother responding to my question. I know what is available for this car. My question was about 2 specific products. Thanks.

I would have gotten a 2013 A4 Avant, but we don't have that choice here in America, do we ? In case you didn't notice, this is the only Audi wagon available if you are buying brand new. I'm not buying a 2nd hand Audi Avant with 50,000 miles on it. I'm not ignoring your ridiculous comment either, and hope you do get it now. The high center of gravity is just not ideal in many instances and lowering the suspension can be the answer.
