Default Installing my H&R coilovers this weekend...

Need advice on what height to set the collars at to lower the car as little as possible. What measurement, where to measure from, etc...

City driving isn't kind to slammed cars!!

Default I am getting the KW coilovers and am setting them to the highest setting possible which is .75" or

1" when they settle. I will be driveing through snow, and like you don't want the hastle of car that is too low. Besides, I really don't care about the looks, I mainly purchased them for the handling.

I have no problems with speedbumps at all.. You won't have any problems with my drop if you have the stock S4 bumper.. I have a modified S4 bumper which was lowered 1.5" and I still don't have any problems..

Default Sure.. Here are a couple of pics and info..

As far as the rollcage, it's a custom made cage that i bought of scott (SKS). He used to race his A4, but decided to turn it back to stock so I bought it of him.. The cage itse'f is a bolt in setup and comes apart in 2 pieces..

Here are a couple of pics..
