I disagree that lowering the car is not a good idea. I lowered my '86 4kq with H&R's and the difference in handling is amazing. I've had the springs on for a year and a half now and have never once bottomed out in the car. I guess it depends on how low the car sat originally, but Audis generally sit pretty high stock. I can also still plow through snow pretty well. Tom B. '86 4kq
