    Ideas to lower S2 avant?????

    Hi guys.

    i would like to lower my car slightly.It is on standered springs and shocks at the moment.i have recently put Rs6 18inch wheels on which i think looks great but would like to see the car a tad lower
    i have no idea where to start??? is it possible to put just springs on,or do i have to go for coil-overs???
    all ideas would be most helpfull!!!
    best wishes james

        James, the H&R springs work well with Koni dampers on the avant.

              thanks guys!!!
              tried the bags of cement!!!!! trouble is.......the bloody dust!!
              might have to go for the H&R idea instead.the only thing that i think might be a problem is will the 18's be a prob at the rear?????

                  I have some cement that has gone hard in the bag - no dust and to you there is no extra charge!

                      Anders, what are the width and offset of your rims? I was under the impression that big rims foul the rear suspension on Avants.
