<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19076/side.jpg"></center><p>As some of you know, i recently lowered my car with eibach/bilstein and it ended up lower in the back then front, eibach has addressed the issue with a 10mm rear spacer for all 100/s4/a6/s6 kits, however i dont think that will cut it for me...here are some pictures and some data....how big a spacer should I have fabricated? (please account for possible settling and the fact that lifting the rear may (?) push the front down a bit), any help would be greatly appreciated

putting spacers on the rear will raise the rears, which could lower the front maybe by a millimeter as weight redistributes.

As springs sag, maybe another 3 to 6mm in time, I am willing to bet your rears sag more than the front which will make your situation worst.

Coil overs are definetely more expensive but will help you fine tune your rideheight either for style or performance. You can ask if they have a short spring for the front. Check the front Bilsteins also to see if there are grooves below the lower spring perch. If there are, you can used them to go lower.

Or you can just grab a hacksaw and nip a quarter turn from the front ;P

That looks terrible. Eibach springs sometimes have the part numbers on them. I'd double check to make sure they are the right ones.

id never cut springs, and no im not a millionaire so i cant afford to just throw this new suspension in the garbage and buy new more expensive coilovers....im a 20 year old college student, it was a strech to buy the eibachs and bilsteins!

wont spacers do the trick?!?!?

Kevin(100csq)

absolutely sure, i spent an hour talking to Bo at Eibach, he said id have to do spacers

WYSIWYG

you might need to break it in, try some braking exercises maybe thatll settle the springs sooner

Car appears to sit low in the rear to begin with. May not be the spring kit problem but I would definitely have a specialist measure and add appropriate spacers or modify mounts.
