Hi looking for a bit of advice, trying to find a cheap way of getting my new Audi better acquainted with the tarmac. Struggling to identify any thing that will fit that's anywhere near cheap. It's a 2.6e v6 Anyone have any experience with them? Seems to be a mixture of 80/90 and b4 as far as suspension set up goes. Thanks in advance

Jamex used to do lowering kits (uprated dampers & shorter springs) for the B3 cars. Reasonably priced but very hard ride.

Always worry about cut springs jumping out. Will have my kids in sometimes so needs to be safe. Suppose a little bit wouldn't hurt lol

The suspension you already have is both the cheapest and the safest. Family daily with ride height like that? Air.

My Photoshop is an extreme vision lol not looking to scrape the floor. its likely to average about 15-20 miles a week so being fairly low won't be a problem. We have a daily modern and I have a modern van as well. Will just be the odd day here and there when the Mrs has the daily and I have both kids at home.

Lowering springs or a lowering kit are going to be the cheapest other than cut springs. Try German eBay for more choice and more often than not lower price. These work out at about £145 delivered.
