Seems odd that you had dropped it 120mm, doesn't like it in the pics.

I'd raise the back to match the front and space the wheels out til they're flush :cool:

I would raise the back but it sits nice I'll sort the front out first  :smiley:

Would improve the ride and it will look sweet when you space the wheels out. If you sit the rear wheels flush at that height, you'll need serious arch work.

My wheels are flush at the back I had my arches done :)

Cheers lads!! I will get spacers but just don't know how big might go for 5mm first to see what it would be like. I got 5 on back so I'll stick em on the front to see what's occurring lol
Bust out the measuring tape and see what kind of room you have to work with in mm. How wide are your wheels at the moment?

In Ireland the Audi A4 has become a chavwagon of choice in recent years. An Irish guy with an awesomely stanced Bora got talking to a chav about how low his A4 was. Turned out he wasn't running springs at all  :shocked:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3
