Anyone with a 2019 Sedan lowered?

The non adjustable options for the sedans proved to have a non ideal reverse rake effect on pre-2019 MY (I have no reason to believe it would be any different on the 2019 but I am curious if anyone has experience). I'm wondering if someone is on some fixed springs that can post pictures of their sedans.

TIA

Yeah, taking delivery in May. Could not beat the price or performance despite having a slew of issues on the previous car.

Playing with wheels and lowering...

Are they not the same as the '18s? Why don't you go VTF adjustables. I had lowering springs on my '18 and had to pull them
off and go VTFs as the negative rake drove me crazy. Perfect stance now with the adjustables.

This is pretty much what I'll end up doing if I don't get any decent responses. I can just see myself being overly **** with adjustment, that mixed with a lower cost makes a fixed spring reasonably favorable. But, I'd rather be able to get the hight I want even if the cost is more.

Trust me, get the adjustable ones, worth a little more to get the stance exactly the way you want. I can even give you my settings if you'd like, I'm a very slight positive rake. Just PM me if interested.

I will be ordering these soon. My H&R Sports have completely bottomed out. Car is uncomfortably low.

Looks good but it's too low for my use (I take my car on regular ski trips), I assume you have them dialed all the way down? I'm thinking the VTF is the best solution for these cars and that's the route I'll go, I want to lower my car about an inch.

I'd honestly be surprised if that's much different than an inch.

Ya, I have mine on VTFs. That is what it will look like with just a touch over an inch. Also, if you want to avoid negative rake, the front
needs to be dropped almost max on the VTFs.

Since you mention it, you're basically maxed out in the front - what about the rear?

Just trying to get ready for what I'll tell the shop on initial install.

Just checked, I have the rear set to the minimum drop and the front 5mm from max.

So what's that like a finger gap at the minimum drop or rather maximum height in the rear?

That's about the perfect ride height for me...maybe about 1/4" higher but that's pretty much spot on what I'd like.

Perhaps it's lighting of the photo that IdC43 posted of their car but it looks a lot lower than your car.

Ya that's about right and yes, the angle of the picture changes how it looks for sure. I played with it quite a bit but I feel like my settings are perfect now.

IDC43? Are you running spacers with the VTFs?

Naw this is about 1/2 way... I’m used to driving slammed static Audi’s so this is much more functional for me plus I’m prob have to raise it a tad once I get new wheels and tires..
