Really don't intend to drop it since I plan to drive it some next winter and ground clearance is already pretty limited. Better looking I have to agree. Maybe do 15 front and 20 rear. Project for next spring. Will continue to search threads. thanks.

 

text or pm me about this...

 

yeah those spacer sizes would be about perfect. As for dropping it, I wouldn't limit yourself because of your car being driven all year. I drove my 06 coupe year 'round and had it lowered on Tanabe NF springs, and the Gialla front lip kit and had zero issues.

For a mild drop with your car, you could easily go Tanabe's and you wouldn't run into any issues. Its not aggressive, it simply deletes some of the fugly wheel gap that comes stock. Not to mention, springs are cheap, easy to install, and no camber kits needed. Could get it dropped for less then $250, and it would completely change the look of your car.

 

Thanks for the input - also some good posts out there today on spacers and drops. Do the tanabes give a weird look - lower in the back - one of the posts mentioned that? How much to install do you think - who do you recommend locally? Maybe I'm overly concerned about snow plowing with a drop - I will drive only when condtions are suitable - no urgency to get out in heavy snow like we have had. Getting back to spacers - how hard is it to remove the studs and replace? Seems like the best alternative - I'm talking about diy here.

 

For reference on NF210 springs. Here are a couple shots of mine before I put my front lip on. I don't drive it during the winter months but you will still have plenty of clearance. Just make sure you get some dedicated snow tires. Can't help you on spacer question though.

 

Thanks for the recommendation and photos. They got a good report in other posts I was able to find too.

 

I saw your post for the guy who had lowered the front only - somebody said it would not have overall balance. Any other thoughts about doing that? I guess if it didn't work out, the rear could be dropped too.

 

I don't think it would throw off your balance or anything crazy like that. It s just not common practice to do just the front when you lower the car. if you really wanted to just do the front, I'll have my front springs available once I swap them out for eibachs. You can have mine for the low low. let me know.

 

Let me know when they available. Thanks.

 

we can even help you with the install!! I also had NF's...on my 06 g35. LOVED the feel of them.

Tires sold to Tevi!! :-)

 

Thanks for the offer.

 

What are you guys in MN doing during the winter for preheating your cars? Block heaters, dipstick heaters?

 

I don't drive the G during the winter months. As far as my A4 goes, just your basic start it and let it idle for a couple minutes before driving away.

 

Do not drive the G during winter as well. Garage is heated all winter at about 55 degrees unless I know I'll be working on something in there and I'll turn the thermostate up to 65 or 70.

 

Happy Monday Gentlemen!
