perfect drop don't go any lower

It may look okay in the pics, but it really needs to come down a couple hairs up front.

Was bored this morning after the gym and decided to lower the front to match the rear. I'm usually giving the old girl a bath after the gym, but it's raining here. I feel it looks much better and now I'm not so annoyed by how low the rear is. It may need some fine tuning if they settle any further.

Waaazooo

Love the adjustment

Thanks.

It did end up settling and coming down a bit more than I'd like. Made a final adjustment this morning. Once it settles more, it should really be perfect this time.

Can't wait to wash her up. This nasty weather is driving me nuts.

Hey man thanks for the info helps a lot, I have a silly question, I'm trying to buy the same you did from ECS TUnning and they have a warning on the product saying

"Vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC) will lose shock damping and receive a system error code with coilover systems."


I'm sure you don't have a system error or if you do how do u get rid off it ?

You don't state your location but the A6 can be had with adjustable shocks in numerous places around the world.

I think your new setting is as far as I would ever go with the car.

Visually the issue for me is "the round wheel centered in the ellipse of the wheel well." Thus the lower you go, the more the difference in gap between the top and the sides of the wheel well.

Two things that compound that issue for me with your pictures are the very bright silver wheels and the short sidewall on the slightly shorter tires. So more bright, less black.

One thing I found out by accident with my car is the offset factored into that math a lot. I bought a set of S5 wheels for my snow tires with +12 more offset and with the Sport suspension at stock height it looks really nice. They are now officially my summer wheels. I'll post a pic later.

Keep in mind that the Sport suspension lowers the car 10mm vs standard. This explains several of the awkward looking A6's sitting on the dealer lot.

Definitely lower the front more to make the car look more balanced. Did you consider Eibach? I just fitted some to my A5 cab and they are really good and cost less than H&R
