    as for lowering the car, go on www.car-part.com. find a good local euro salvage yard. these places deal in oem parts. when they get in a aftermarket coil setup--it is pretty much worthless to them. As no insurance company or body/repair shop is going to put a used aftermarket coil spring on a car. Thus, you can swoop in and buy the complete set of 4 for dirt cheap. I work at an all european salvage yard and repair shop where i run the repair shop and wrench. I know we let aftermarket stuff go on the cheap just to move it. Pretty much workers get 1st dibs--then it gets sold on ebay for 50% to 75% off of retail just to move it.
    word, i got the car for fairly cheap which i thought was a steal, but the repairs broke my pockets. its all good now tho. i own 2 cars tho so I'm a little familiar with german cars. i have an 06' CLS500 that is my "show car" i got that for a great deal. but i like to mess around with my audi. thank you for the site tho. I'm going to deff. look into that

    was a bit secptical when I read your build title"high school build" my first thought was a sticker bombed audi with boxing gloves hanging from the mirror running pursuit rims painted purple
    but it looks clean and digging the subtle styling

    Haha I really appreciate it, i like a simple and clean look

    haha thank you

    Nice car man! I just graduated high school this year so I understand the struggle for money and buying car parts. Anyway I got some TA Technix coilovers from ebay and they are amazing. They are TUV Approved and made in Germany. They ship from Germany to the US, the box is even in German, that being said if you are look for cheap coils i would highly recommend these ones!
