[s-cars] Finally got the S6 lowered... I guess total drop was somwhere near 2.5"

Taka,

I agree with you. Although the car looks nice that low, it also looks
a bit to low. With my H&R V8 springs and Koni Adjustables my
car_barely_clears curbs and parking lot stops, but occasionally will
scrape the undercarriage on large speed bumps. That alone makes me
cringe. I hope Levent doesn't experience any of that, but his chances
are better than mine with his slammed stance. I also question the gap
in spring rate when using springs for a 488 pound lighter car on an
S4/6.

If any of you are interested in what H&R V8 springs coupled with Koni
Adjustables looks like, here is a link with a picture of my car (and
list of mods):

Coming from a '92 car with already lower suspension, if it had been
any higher I  would have felt cheated after lowering it, and lower and
I may have been more happy with the appearance, but would have to be
more cautions of what roads I drive on and parking over curbs/stops
and damaging my precious cargo up front (read: FMIC).
