yeehawwww...
lowwwww...man my tires look HUGE now. the rear springs are sitting a little wierd, especially considering this is an s4 setup (should be sitting higher, right?). i actually dropped the front by getting a new perch groove machined into it, approx 25mm (1 inch). helped a lot.
the rear spring is totally compressed at the top half (where the rubber is on the spring), the bottom half still has plenty of travel room. i want the rear to be sitting a little higher than currently installed anyways, so it looks like i am going to switch the rear out. car looked awesome when we first took it off the rack, good two finger gap in the front, 2.5/ 3 in the rear...then it settled 8(.
i don't mind the front, but the back is a little too low for me. and good lord the handling is night and day from the 4x4 oem setup.

no kidding!!! actually, i am kinda concerned...
that it may be too low. it was awesome and looked so perfect when it came off the rack. then on the drive home it settled about 3/4". it's looking a little *slammed* for me. the front i am not worried about since i can move the perch up a setting, but the rear spring seems overly compressed. i'm calling h&r tommorrow and will go from there.
i have about a 1 finger gap at the top of the wheel, front and rear. before settling it was 2 in the front, 2.5 in the rear. kinda concerned about rubbing issues on hard corners and issues of broken axles (look below). should have gotten coilovers i know, i know (if i had the money, i would of!!!)
