Default Eibach springs and CPT lowers installed

Tech was able to dial the alignment into the consensus "preferred" TT specs without any trouble. Even the front was pretty much spot-on before even though I had removed the control arms to have Mike install DEFCONs and installed new ball joints while I was at it.

Kudos to Darren and the Streetwerke techs for alerting me to the stripped shock mount bolt and fixing it while the car was in for the springs and CPT arms (shocks NOT installed by Streetwerke, BTW). I've seen the pictures here of what can happen if the rear shock lets go-- not a pretty sight.

Car is definately sitting a little lower on the Eibach springs (and Koni FSDs). I measured 26.5 inches floor to top of wheelwell before on stock springs, will measure later tonight and again in a couple of weeks.

It's nice to have the TT back in the stable, although this has given me the chance to get to know the S4. Now, that car is all about the engine. . .

Mine took about a month to settle completely, plenty of driving involved during that time
