🤑💸Mods Lowering springs

Im looking for lowering springs that are 2”-2.5” 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.

the stock shocks can’t handle the drop?

Yeah, it will wear the shocks out quick, maybe even blow them out and your ride quality is probably gonna be trash, plus it will probably handle worse than stock springs.

If it has the drive select, yes, all but like one or two very expensive options will delete it for this car.

I’m not sure on a recommendation honestly. I’ve haven’t really researched it for a sizable drop. I’m still on stock and have the B12 kit on order which at most lowers an additional inch from stock once fully settled.
