Hi - I wonder if anyone can help.....
My S2 Avant has FK springs (40mm lowering I think) and Bilstein shocks (B7 I think) and it is really low, it has an RS2 exhaust with the twin pipes and this is about 15mm from the road so it hits all small bumps all the time and is not fun to drive. It was in this setup when I bought it and it also has 17inch BBS alloys but with stretched tyres so although a 40 profile they are more like a 30 in height which does not help.
I am thinking about doing two things, firstly changing the wheels and tyres which should raise it by about 10mm and if this is not enough then changing the springs - but can you get 20mm lowering springs (I cant find any - only 30mm H&R?) and also will the shocks be long enough for this?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
