Default Lowered my C8 A6 !

Just got my A6 about 2 weeks ago. So far I've got the whole front end wrapped in XPEL Paint Protection. I've debadged the rear trunk lid and only left the Audi Rings. I've also installed steel pedals. Today I finally got the stance right! I got my local Audi specialist to install H&R Springs for the A6 with sports suspension. I also got APR spacers put on. 15mm in the front and 10mm in the back. The H&R website calls it a .75inch drop for A6's with the sport suspension already. My front dropped .5inch and my rear dropped .8inch. I'm expecting it to drop a bit more once I put more miles on it. Check out the pics below!

Riding pretty well so far. Honestly can't tell much of a change since the car already had a sport suspension. Just gotta be a little more careful around speed bumps and driveways.

Looks great. For the front spacers, would you do 17mm instead of 15mm if you were to do it again, and the rear 12mm instead of 10mm? Also, is our center bore 57.1 or 66.5?

Probably not man. I think it sits perfect right now. The tire is almost right up against the fender. Regarding the center bore I wanna say it's 66.5. Not certain because I had my local Audi specialist shop order it for me.

Looks really nice, that OEM plus look.

The C8 models are 66.5mm for spacers.

Cheers,

Love the look! Not sure how you drive but I notice after 95 to 100 mph my A6 feels like a boat. Would you say your ride feels a little tighter?

Not OP, but my A6 is on H&R Springs (OE Sport Suspension) and ECS spacers. In general the feel did get tighter, but still has that boat motion, even under 100. Been debating swaybars and endlinks to combat this.
