I am thinking about lowering mine with H&R springs. They drop about .75 inches or so.


BTW, mine is a non-sport version. When I was finding my A7 I looked at the ENTIRE USA for the spec I wanted, and nobody had a sport white A7 prestige with side assist and black interior. I wanted the peddle shifters and a slightly lower stance.

The overall diameter of your wheel/tire combo is slightly larger than the stock, so that measurement might not be very accurate..
