x-post: H&R S4 coilovers installed
RKA, Digit@lex, and PaulaB were gracious enough to come to beautiful South Jersey last weekend and help install the suspension. Thankfully we got it done in the afternoon when the temperature was still warm and Digi only tried to kill Paula once. We also learned that golden retrievers love Audiworlders. 
I was very lucky to have the help of people with that kind of experience. Thanks again guys!
The gap is about a finger front and rear. I may raise it when snow starts, I'm not sure. H&R needs to send me the wrenches to adjust the perches. The ride is fantastic, though. Much flatter in the turns. Great upgrade.

Stop fingering your gap you pervert! :-p
Looks great! Were you just running stock, non-sport suspension before? I find with my two finger gap I scrape, I wouldn't want it any lower. My cat hangs down pretty low, though.
Gotta watch that Paula. She can be a hand-full. ;-)

yup, non-sport before...
Went from SUV to slammed. I'm going to bring the front up a little when I get the wrenches, it is too raked right now. I haven't experienced any scraping or rubbing thus far, fingers crossed... I think the spring rates are hard enough that I should be relatively safe.
And yeah, Paula said the same thing... I told her the shocker wouldn't fit in my newly minimized wheel gap.

hahaha...
weeeelll... the pass side came from when Mica and I went out driving in the first snow last year at RPI. Oversteered around a corner and skimmed a curb. The driver's side... I went to an indoor kart track with Digi, Angry, and several of the S4 guys. Tried following them around a sweeping entrance ramp too fast and smacked the curb pretty nicely. Needed a new lower rear control arm. Two not so easy lessons, but ones I don't intend to duplicate.
