Still not loving the ride quality with the Eibach's. the car feels so much more unsettled around 70 or 80 mph it's frightening. Small bumps and imperfections "jounce" me around so much now it's all I feel when I drive. I don't get it, I seriously don't know how no one else feels this way. I had the alignment checked but I may bring it back in because this can not be normal. I miss my stock ride!

I am sure everything has his/her own opinions and senses, maybe you are more sensitive in this regard than most?

Do you or anyone else have the different part #'s for the sport and non sport shocks? My service rep at Audi said there is no difference between the sport and non sport shocks, he said they are the same exact part which I was really surprised to hear. Can this be right?

However, you can get these parts even less here.

Price wise, there are also comparable coilover kits from H&R.

Looking for a little advice here. I just bought a new 2014 a7 with sport wheels but not suspension or tires. They changed that package plan as it used to auto come with it all.
So i am thinking of lowering it but not drastically slammed but a good amount. I do not want to worry about cracking my lip while parking or running something over on a highway. I had a 2006 BMW m6 before this & it was a paid being that low.
I see some say do H&R others say Eibach & that it also matters if your A7 is on non sport or sport suspension stock.
Mine is stock non sport but with sport 20 spoke wheels & all season tires. What would you suggest i do & does anyone have images of theirs lowered with these same stock specs?
I was also thinking of doing spacers.

After a year of dropping, the car seems to be a tab bit lower.

It looks so amazing like this but i fear with it being so low i will have to worry about cracking the lip or scraping like i did with my old lowered BMW m6.
Also if yours was non sport before the springs how much of a change is in the feel of the ride? Would this set up work on a 2014 a7?
