So, I finally installed H&R springs on our 2013 Q7 this weekend. Well, after all the work and $$, the wife does not like the way the Q7 sits, mainly in the rear. It is lower than before, but not by much. The ride is great, I really enjoy the way it rides with minimal body roll now and it is not bouncy at all, like some might think. So overall, I am glad I did them, even though I may have to remove them and sell them. I included some before and after pictures.

Do you have the air suspension system? I like the lowered look! How much firmer over road bumps/pot holes are the H&R springs?

Did you do the install yourself or have a shop do it?

I wanted to do H&R springs but I've been told they will ruin the struts. This is something I really want to do. They look fantastic and make the Q7 look a lot better. Nice Job! Nice red calipers by the way!

Looks like A nice setup. Do you have wheel spacers or a different offset on these wheels?

I don't have the air suspension. Not really much firmer at all and not much of a difference. I was actually surprised, it rides really nice. I did them myself on a lift, not too hard, just time consuming.

I dont think they will mess anything up. These are specifically made to work with the stock struts and made for the Q7.

Stock 21 inch wheels with no spacers.

Really good looking- love the RS grill, wish i could pull one off without losing all my tech up there. I've got the Adaptive cruise sensors and cameras up there.

Thanks for posting your information on the setup. I was just searching earlier today looking for more recent feedback. So your wife just doesn't like the stance or the ride as well? Also did you happen to take any measurements prior to the install? I'm sure it will settle more as you continue to drive, which will make her happy.

Actually, the ride is great and we can't really feel a difference. Its the stance that she doesn't like. She feels its too low in the rear and feels more like a car than an SUV. Being that she drives it all the time, I may have to put the stock springs back on real soon. If I do, someone will get a great deal on a new set of springs.
