Default Undo Lowering Springs?

Hi all,

I just purchased a 2013 Audi S5 which had lowering springs installed by the previous owner. Since I live in the city and I've been scraping ramps/speed bumps, I'm looking to basically un-lower the car to factory height. I was told by my mechanic that the owner had just installed lowering springs (not changed anything else with the suspension).

That being said, what is the process? Could I simply install spacers (if so, any particular type etc.)? Should I replace the springs, and if so, what are some good (not necessarily oem) options that would give me the factory ride height?

Thanks!

You would need to get hold of a set of factory springs. I bet if you post in the classifieds, you could get someone to just do an even swap with you

Any aftermarket spring other than knock off stuff is going to be lower than stock. Stick with an OEM spring
