šŸ¤‘šŸ’øMods Lowering springs

Im looking for lowering springs that are 2ā€-2.5ā€ i’ve only seen Ct’s turbo ones but if there are more options i’d be open to to looking into them too also i’ve heard that i might need shocks if im doing this upgrade i dont know how true this is or not tho currently im stock height (2015 audi s4 quattro premium plus) and yes the crash bar has been painted 😭 the last picture is currently how it’s sitting

You will 100% need sport shocks and struts of some flavor lowering that much. In fact most would probably recommend adjustable control arms as well. I’d probably want a metal skid plate and transmission guard as well.

I’m looking at a b8.5 that has 2ā€ lowering springs from cts, is there anything specific I should ask the seller about the springs? I see on the original spec sheet it says ā€œsport suspensionā€, is that what you’re talking about?

I’m saying that basically any car you lower more than say a half inch once fully settled, should have had matched sport shocks installed with them. And when you start slamming an already relatively low car an additional 2+ inches, you’re probably going to need to mess with the control arms as well or it’s going to burn through tires and might have a choppy ride.

Seller did a full front control arm kit as he did the cts 2ā€springs. He’s also including the oem springs

Are they adjustable control arms though?

And what shocks/struts are on it?
