Default 35mm Lowering Springs S8 D2... ?

Hi Gents.

I'm almost sure that there was a thread a while back where the question if Lowering springs for the S8 D2 would actually lower it at all was raised but i cannot find it...

Well. I've got a VMaxx set of springs availible for 79,- GBP from a supplier. I do know VMaxx Is not H&R or Eibach quality but for that price i'm willing to give it a try.

The supplier has checked with the manufacturer who claims this will lower the car 35mm from Oem/Non Sport A8 Height.

From my knowledge the S8 is lowered 20mm from the factory? But is that meassured against Sport or Non Sport Height?

So will the 35mm springs lower my S?



Thanks

Non Sport height, the Sport and S8 have the same suspension components. So your springs will lower your S8 by 15mm.
