Pale Rider

At the end of the day, much as I like the look of Aquarian's ride—and it is lovely, so lovely I almost just now clicked on an H&R order—I have to agree with Adi. My A7, with the Sport suspension & S-line trim, has a nice aggressive look to it. Here in the Bay Area, we have some horrendously deep/high curbs. One of the things I love about the 7 is that it looks as wide and aggressive as it does, while still clearing those curbs better than my A4 cabriolet did. Losing another inch of curb or parking stop clearance would not be a good thing. Enjoy those lovely rides!

Looks great!

Here's mine. 20" sport package with Eibach springs, 10mm spacers all around.
I always thought my car's rear end sat too high over the wheels and finally decided to lower the car with H&Rs or Eibachs. Based on reading several posts about dip/curb clearance issues with H&Rs, I went with the Eibachs. I'm more pleased with the looks now and I haven't scraped on anything since the install 3 weeks ago despite not changing my driving/parking style.
My seat-of-the-pants assessment is that handling has improved 20% and ride is firmer by about 20% over my stock sports suspension...wish it were a little softer.
After it was lowered, it had a little bit of a "slammed" look so I got the spacers and like the improvement. Sorry I didn't take pics of the car prior to adding the spacers to share with you. There has been no rubbing whatsoever with the spacers.

Thanks everyone for your helpful posts. Hope this helps someone.

I am looking to get a stasis exhaust and intake for my A7 but I've been reading alot of issues coming from Audi voiding warranty. Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance on that?

I'm planning on lowering my 2012 A7 this spring. I plan on running 285/30/20 tires on with Eibach or H&R springs. My current A7 doesn't have the sport suspension; do you think I'll have any issues with rubbing?
Thanks

I ended up not using the H&R springs I bought and stayed stock, if anyone is interested let me know. I am hoping to recoup some of my money.
