Default Can't decide if this is an good idea, lowering springs from H&R

Thinking of lowering my car with H&R springs but I don't know what that does to the DRC system will everything work with this mode?

Anyone have any knowledge/thoughts about this?

You could also go ahead and get the supersport suspension setup from Audi Quattro GmbH. It's 20mm lower and interacts perfectly with the damper controle. Do you have the stock Rs4 suspension in your car or do you already have the RS4 supersport suspension?

Default A few have posted so far, they're great for some, but they're not for everybody.

Excellent value for owners of street-driven cars who are interested in a lower look - and the pics of those cars it really does look great. Maybe even adds a bit of performance. Many have posted their positive H&R Spring experiences (including myself).

The big issue holding me back on the H&R's is the DRC system. Most reports are that the DRC fluid must be drained and refilled properly. I couldn't even find any references to the DRC system in the shop manual.

If you want to race, you'll have to pony up $$$ for a coilover kit.

Default Interesting. Are any other parts different (other than the springs)?

...and I'm guessing the DRC would also need fluid adjustment...

Default I have the SS+ but it's not low enough, and I want the car for track..

so no on the springs, right?
