Here's an old one I found of the winter set up, thought I took a newer one this winter.

wow they actaully look pretty good lowered. the stock huge wheel gap definitly hurts the look...but lowered looks 10000x better
il have mine lowered tomorrow so will post up!

Avant looks great! What suspension are you sitting on? Once i get my new set of wheels in the future I am going to use my 17"s for a winter set up.

As for the first white sedan that car is flawless I can not wait to see how mine comes out.

Thanks for the pics guys!

They're really not bad looking wheels...

**Ur-Quattro** · 03-12-2010 07:51 PM

It's your lucky day, lol - just did a drive and took shots last weekend, even let her play in the dirt a little...

I'm on Koni shocks/springs from Stasis; I think spacers would be worth it until I save for wheels, to close some of the lateral "wheelgap":

**nramsey** · 03-12-2010 09:15 PM

Here are a few pics from when I still had the stock wheels on. Lowered on Avant specific Eibach Pro-kit and Koni FSDs.

It even looked good filthy!

5mm spacer up front, 8mm spacer in the back. Should have went with 12mm and 15mm respectively.

Sitting perfectly as far as i can see! :)

I dont know what it is about white b7s but they always look great and especially on these 17"s we all have.

^^ do not agree, i feel like a highschool kid should own that car

LOL!! One probably does! What do you think the average age of this forum is? I'm guessing 18-27

I think I'm an old man at 43. I love what the "high school" kids are doing with their cars. My son included. MK4 Jetta VR6
It's an expression of themselves and they're a good group. All you 18 to 20 somethings keep it comin!!

**WayzataAudi** · 03-13-2010 10:00 PM

^^ Yeah i suppose it does look like a high school kid owned it because i am only 18. but hell, im only this young once so i might as well enjoy it. i have plenty of time to own an OEM plus style car so i figure enjoy blacking it out now cus ill only look more stupid later on in life doing it! i dunno, some like it, some dont...its all good!

Hah thanks, it's coming along - personally, I'm gonna go with 12.5 mm up front and 15 mm in back for the stock 17's. You dont wanna go any smaller than 8 or larger than 15 mm, but keep in mind you get a cool effect if the rear is slightly thicker.

That looks great, I have a white Avant currently on stock rims/suspension and seeing that picture makes me a whole lot happier about probably keeping the stock wheels and upgrading the suspension. Also, do you have the S4 spoiler on the rear? It looks bigger than the stock spoiler, I am hoping ECS still have some of these in stock when I have enough spare cash to order one.

**viperdsa** · 03-19-2010 03:53 PM

here's mine on H&R sport springs and bilstein shocks

**vdubjetta02** · 03-19-2010 04:14 PM

^^^ thats at SCR performance, and appears those springs have not settled yet in that pic?

**viperdsa** · 03-19-2010 07:15 PM

that it was lol. The springs really didn't settle that much, i didn't even bothered to go remeasure cuz there is no visual difference

hey now... NOT SETTLED yet

**LennyLenihan** · 03-30-2010 07:12 PM

I would like to hear what some of these setups are as well. Wish the oem were 18" but like the look. Thinking about this myself.

**vbrad26** · 03-30-2010 07:19 PM

this picture looks shopped for some reason...

**xULx** · 03-30-2010 07:42 PM

Wifey rollin' the BB. Thought it was cool the way the wheels looked in motion.

**a4b7** · 03-30-2010 09:48 PM

Man that black side picture almost looks like my car..except i dont have shiny exhaust tips

but I have the sline front (but I cant even tell that you have the nonsline bumper until I saw the avatar)...and the votex sides (still in the box..too lazy to get it painted and install)
