Default Most popular ride height?
Guys, I'm thinking of picking up a set of slightly previously enjoyed Bilsteins Sport/H&R Springs. Price is right assuming that they're in working order -I'm getting them checked first.

Any opinions on the "best" ride height? (I need to get them regrooved as the they're at 24.75" on the current set-up)

I'm thinking 25.5".

I want a lower look, but I have to consider practicality, esp with snow in the winter.

TIA

I don't think I'd want anything that was "previously enjoyed".

That's a tad high most people go ~25-25.25 but it is really a matter of what you think looks good

Default That's about what I'm running for the same reasons.
Car still looks great and lowered, but I'm not scraping and the extra bit of ride height definitely improves the ride (comfort-wise, at least).

25.5 is popular but I was at 24.5 before. That was to low with the RS4 bumper.

Raised mine to 25.5" all around. DPs/exhaust have speedbump issues at anything close to 25"

Default We're getting old, aren't we?
Hope all is well. I mailed Jeff most of the 1/4 mile video I could find for his (Santorin?) video project. Looking forward to see what made the cut!
