My whole point is you can get the car low the rite way! Cutting springs are a bad idea. Since you cut the springs I would imagine your still running the OE shocks? I would expect you to totaly wear the shocks out in a NY minute. Allong with other suspension components.
Your going to destroy that car. But if thats your intensions..........
As to low..well here's a pic of my V8 before I adjusted it. The car could have went @ least another 3/4 or 1' more. But it's done the rite way.

No need to be so defensive. I/we audi elitist pricks are just looking out for you.
What you did was way screw up the suspension geomitry, meaning the car does not handle the way it's supposed to. & could even cause you to be in an accident even under normal road conditions & driving.
But since you'r a younster & no body can tell you any different...even some of us seasoned audi elitist pricks who have put there time in & know whats what...then I say good luck with the car & be safe!!!!

this car is not a performance vehicle now, or in my eyes ever was. i drive it like a grandma, not some teen age kid that thinks cause i have a V8 i cant race anything. slow and low is the motto here.

These cars are so rare, and respond so well to a conservative wheel/tire and suspension treatment, that I don't like to see one dropped and rolling on flashy wheels. Most of the enthusiast community built around old Audis focuses on maintenance, power upgrades, and track-worthy suspension and brake work- so don't be surprised if they look askance at your car.
That said, you'll find motorgeek and audiworld to be great resources if you ever need mechanical help; something along the lines that I previously mentioned. Maybe there will even be somebody open to the idea of helping you fix your car and its broken springs.

im on motorgeek and they have all already told me how effed my k rates are and all that dumb junk.
my car works great, and nothing as far as suspension for these cars go low enough for me, other than air of course, but i dont have the moneys for that.
sorry its different from the norm guys, but i dont see these cars as performance vehicles at all, they are boats, and it needed to be dropped on its nutz, and guess what ... it isnt changing, other than getting lower, thats the only work the suspension is going to get.
hate hate hate hate hate
i like what i have.

A few shots of my 1990 100. I have since returned it to stock height and put the 15 wheels back on but just wanted to share.
