S5 Coupe, 20" Concave DPE's, KW Coilovers, SPC Control Arms

**GMP - Matthew** · 02-08-2012 02:59 PM

Another S5 thread but this time its a V8 Coupe fitted with 20" Concave DPE's, KW V2's, and SPC Adjustible front control arms.

Nice, planning on doing a similar setup as yours. How are those SPC control arms working out?

**GMP - Matthew** · 02-08-2012 03:20 PM

The arms are working out just great. Your able to get the car back into factory 100% spec and take minutes to install when installing a set of coilovers or springs.

Amazing Wheel on an Amazing Car. Looks to kill that's for sure.

Very nice! NC boys

You guys did my b5 long long ago.

**bknewtype** · 02-08-2012 05:55 PM

looks ok. not really feeling it. 1sicks5 pulls it off 10000times better imo :X

**titsavant32** · 02-08-2012 06:01 PM

looking good

**S5xy** · 02-08-2012 06:17 PM

Very cool. What's the new range of camber/caster for the SPC control arms? +- 1.5 degrees? Please PM me price for a set of them for the B8 S5 4.2 Coupe, thanks.

**John P.** · 02-08-2012 09:18 PM

Hopefully anyone considering not lowering on 20"s will see from these pictures how wholly horrible it looks at stock height!

**efx1** · 02-08-2012 10:00 PM

are you running 20x11 all around

what size tire are you running?

+1 After a summer of running 20's without lowering I totally agree

Traction issues on a FWD GTI? What's that? Never heard of it lol.... I have a 2010 as well, did both the stage 3 and the K04, they are blast once your going 20mph but rolling off a stop sign or traffic light is a bit tricky and power out of turns on a road course would be much more fun with more traction too which is why I ordered a Golf R :)

**Mops** · 02-10-2012 11:25 AM

R, nice! Yea, even getting on it in 2nd now it can get tricky and shortly after I got I came out of a curve hot in 2nd and there I went...
You guys still closed on Sat? I wanna come for a ride in the GTI.
Great group of people at GMP btw everyone.

**GMP - Matthew** · 02-10-2012 11:32 AM

We are open the second saturday of each month 10-2 I have actually put it all back to stock except for the carbonio stage 1 and APR ECU Stage 1.

**Mops** · 02-10-2012 11:35 AM

Well thats perfect as thats the route I would go. How much longer do you have the gti? Sorry to chatter in your thread btw. You can pm and would like a price on the flash.

No worries. I will have the car till April most likely. I personally would suggest doing Stage 1 intake, ECU, and Downpipe. I will send you a pm. Thanks for the props!

AWD conversion time.

**UbiquitouS5** · 02-10-2012 12:08 PM

Is it me, or do these wheels look like theyre 21."

I agree w/ BK, 1SickS5 pulled it off better. Maybe its the car color to wheel combination.

Still a sick set up btw.

**oohnoo** · 02-10-2012 01:06 PM

When I saw the first pic I was like WTF, that thing needs to be lowered. But then scrolled down and saw the pic by pic installation, nicely done by the way. End result is perfect.

Car looks like it has alot of miles on it, time to get in there and do some serious cleaning.....

**GMP - Matthew** · 02-10-2012 01:14 PM

All our customers cars are washed up unless they are already pretty cleaned up before they get here.. Thats just how we roll :)

**Mops** · 02-10-2012 01:31 PM

Thats purty fainncy for a perf shop...nice. Its not a kid you picked up on the corner that believes a tire brush and synthetic sponge cleans all surfaces on a vehicle right?

**Audiforumuser** · 02-10-2012 01:52 PM

The one thing that jumped out to me is that the owner of that S5 really needs a new set of caliper decals. Especially with those wheels, i wouldn't be able to look at my car the way those look in the photos!

**mxrz** · 02-10-2012 01:56 PM

Meh, decals won't fix the fact that the stock calipers are sliding single piston kind, made from recycled boat anchors... He needs a BBK.
