i have a 96 a4 with bilsteins all around and 99 sport springs.
bilsteins set on lowest perches
but in my opinion the front isn't low enough
the wheel gap on the front is larger then the rear. I'm **** in the sense that i'd like to lower the front no more then 1 inch max
I don't want to swap just the front springs
is it possible to just have the springs compressed by heating them up??
I know this is an oldschool mod, but i think it will work
what do you think
thanks

not looking for smarta$$ commentary, just the most cost effective way to lower the front

This will compress the srpring and ln turn lower the car. Don't know if you will be able to lower a full inch though.

Oh, you're *not* looking for a smarta$$ commentary. My bad

Get some H&R Sports (not race in your case) or similar spring and add them. From there you can adjust the perches of the Bilsteins to get them to the desired hieght. One up on the back with all the way down in the front, or how ever. Heating, compressing, or cutting the springs will destroy the comfort, reliability and feel of the springs. It will cost you and your car more in the future. Look it up on google.

its set at the lowest possible perch not the highest, can i buy two front springs alone?

OneEyedJack

I might have misunderstood. I thought your perch is on the lowest groove. Which translates to the most wheel gap.

i think your wrong on that one

I have adjustables on my car too. I have the on 2nd highest perch in the front and the highest in the back.

End result about 1.5 finger gaps in front and about 1.5~1.75 (a semi-raked look) which I like.

The combo is adjustable bilsteins w/ HR sports

The springs should set you back about 240 and depending on where you install another 300 or if you can do it yourself than great.
