And they lowered the car about 2 inches? that's a huge difference from the 1.3 inches they claim.

Unfortunatelly I can't afford coil overs right now that's why I'm looking into springs. So you have H&R adjustable coil overs on your car or are you talking about springs only?

If you want to go "as low as possible" then look into coilovers. I have the
H&Rs on my 95.5 S6 Avant and it's as low as practical (maybe even lower than
practical at times) The floor pan scrapes going out of driveways, and the
lower valance scrapes going into driveways... I bet they lowered the car
about 2 inches. The car was purchased with them already installed, but
comparing the stance of the car now vs. a stock S6, I'd say about 2". The
car handles well, is a little too soft, but never bottoms out. Besides, on
an 8 hour drive it's nice to not have your teeth rattled out of your
mouth...
HTH, maybe someone else has some different observations.
