Dropping my Audi 80 Avant's suspension

[JMLAudi]

Hi all

Been driving on the UK great roads and going over some rough areas noticed the heavy thumping and jarring effect going through my car,put my car on ramps at work found front shocks leaking oil and rears going same way.

On my previous Audi 80 Avant 1,9 TDI i ran 60/40 and 60/60,set up.but they have been always missed match spring/shock combo....with mixed reactions on handling and feel.........and so this time on my Avant i buying new and looking best look and road holding............wanting car to sit low but not too siily looking

I will be running 16 inch alloys with 205/55/16 tyres

My question is which i go for 60/40 (f/r) drop or 40/40 (f/r) on my Audi 80 Avant1.9 tdi


Your advice greatly apperiated

Try this link john, think its 60/40, not the best pics tho. He used a supersport kit, like the one i put on my coupe that you saw.

If you keep the same rolling radius of tyre then there should be no difference in the size of the wheels as the size round the outside of the tyres will be the same.

Does that even make sense? I know what im trying to say but not sure if its came out right
