Default New shoes for my S4

Got these put on yesterday. Pretty happy with them. I think the ride height is slightly higher. 235 18 front and 285 18 rear.

Like the wheels.

Are you going to lower the car? Not sure what the roads are like in VA...

Nice look

Car might lower itself with some driving. These cars do look better with less air above the front tires.

I think it needs to be lowered. I agree with you both (NordicSaab and GlenL) it needs to come down a bit. especially in the front.
I'm gonna work on that this weekend.

before you start adjusting the suspension ,
take the car for a 50 mile ride ,
you may find the car will lower down as it settles,

NOTE take ride height readings per the WSM after the 50 mile ride.
I wouldn't go lower than stock so 170mm for the and 165mm for the rear .
NOTE if you start adjusting the ride height then a 4 wheel alignment should be done after the car has been driven and its settled
