Default What springs are best with stock "sport" shocks

I am new the the Audi world. I just purschased a 2001 A4 1.8T 5sp. It has the sport package, but I want to lower the car. What springs will work best with the factory sport shocks. The car rides and handles fine as is, so I am not looking to improve upon either of those. At this time I am mainly going for the lowered look. I figure I need to drop it 1.5" to get the look I want.

Thanks

Default That drop will eventually require new shocks.

You might get by for one year with the factory shocks, but when they go (NOT IF), you'll have to take apart the suspension and put new shocks in. H&R Race springs should give you the drop you're looking for.
