Me and my missis bought her bros a3 to use as her car plus the "family" bus for gettin us and out 11 month old around. dont want to mess with it really as its nice enough as is, just with the s3 rims on the rear sits quite high. we was gonna get a spring kit and lower it but after lookin at it for a while id be happy just dropping the rear to match front.
so question is does anyone know of a a3 rear spring that sits slightly lower then the 1.6 springs it has, like off a higher spec model, and no i dont really wanna go down the cutting a coil off route lol... little photoshop:

did think about that, just didnt want to waste money even tho its cheap, and after fitting rears it then be the opposite, rear to low compared to front.
