After a few weeks of deciding wether or not i want to lower it, i finally came to a decision im going to do it. Are the Godspeed Tractions-S Lower Lowering Spring Drop 1.6"/1.5" for Audi Q5 8R 09-17 any good? i want it to ride well since it's my wifes car. I will be putting 20's on it as well with 45 series side walls. They will be 255/45/20's on all 4 on Verde V20's.

I have lowered 2 SUVs. ! MB & 1 Audi. I had H&R springs installed. Very satisfied & no noticeable diff in ride.

If you're concerned about ride quality I would buy Vogtland springs. I've used them before and they are a progressive rate spring so they aren't too harsh under normal driving conditions and I'm sure they will have the proper spring rate. Just remember by lowering the car you are throwing off factory suspension geometry so you might need a bump steer correction kit.

Edit: based on the price alone I am going to assume those Godspeed springs are trash - I highly doubt they've been engineered with the proper front and rear spring rates for the vehicle. The Vogtlands will lower the car 1.2 inches - they are about x2 the cost of the Godspeed springs. They have a higher spring rate than factory but it won't be too harsh.

Thank you for the advice given, I ended up buying H&R's and will be installing them this week. Just got the wheels installed this weekend very happy with them.
