installed H&R springs and spacers

alloutwarn · 11-23-2016, 04:46 PM

Just installed H&R springs along with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. It definitely got rid of some of the fender gap but its not as low as i would of liked. Wheel spacers look great, much more aggressive look. Thinking about running 22s next to see how it sits, worse case go coil overs.

Lol. You have Photobucket? It's free and has an app. Sign up online then download the app. You can just use the app to get the pics there. Then just copy the image link.

Last winter a friend in a Grand Cherokee laughed at me when my car kept dragging in the snow because my ground clearance wasn't as high.

Lowering looks good. Don't go too low. SUVs that are too low look really weird like a 5 series gt

But Q7 can be specified with air suspension that means sedan low to SUV high. Best of both worlds.

Do you find these springs to be super floaty? I have them on my X5 and it floats like crazy.

They don't seem too much worse then stock, I notice a little difference but not bad at all

car looks great, thats the perfect stance! Can you post pic showing off the spacer setup? curious to see how flush the wheels are with the fender lines in the front and rear. I was planning on the same H&R sport springs but with 12mm front and 15mm rear spacers........help me tip the scales!

Thanks! Ya I'll snap some pics tomorrow, the tires sit perfectly even with the flares now front and rear. Looks super aggressive, 15mm front and 20mm rear is def the way to go
