I just put mine on last week, So far im pretty impressed, the ride is softer than i expected, which I dont mind because i use the car for a daily driver. I do have the rs4 sways on my car so that may help a little. They are still settling. When the shop put them on they front was slammed, and the rear on the lowest setting was higher than stock. However the car sat at the shop over the weekend so it could get an alignment and settled nicely. still surprised its not lower in the back. The shop said they were hell adjusting, but take into consideration they do not work on audi's much or coilovers. A friend of mine owns the shop so I get it done cheap, they mostly do work on 60-70's muscle cars. So all in all I am happy I went with them, we will see how it goes over the next few months. I will take pics as soon as i can. I have winter setup on the car now. I am interested to see how it sits with my 10mm spacers and 19"rs4 reps. Thanks to stratmosphere for great service and fast shipping.

I had them raise the fronts to match the rear but according to the shop the rears and the lowest setting. The ride is just as good as stock.

Stopped Raining, Here are some pics. This is winter setup, I have to put my 19"rs4 reps on with 10mm spacers and see how they fit. rear is supposed to be at lowest setting and front raised to match. I think the height is where i want it. Also plasti dipped front grills and put in b7 console, still have to figure out the parking brake.

Nice license plate setup. Like the stance, but i would go a little lower in the rear.

Nice job on the swap [up] - would love to see more pix. Would be nice to have some real cupholders. What's up with the ebrake? Why doesn't it work?

the piece that connects to the two cords, so that when you pull the brake engages it doesnt match up. That piece is a circle with with like two u like hooks on each side and they are postioned like the horns on this devil [evilsmile] and the ones on the b6 ebrake would be on both sides of the circle rather than more towards the top. So the two ebrake lines slide over the hooks and the position they are in now just wall off when ever the ebrake is off, they will stay on if its not. Hope that makes sense

no reviews for me yet but front has about 3 inches lower than this

also the back is at the lowest setting with about a finger gap, which seems kinda dumb imo. trying to figure that out today

nope rears are still jacked up and no response from stratmosphere
apparently lisn2me's shop and myself installed them wrong that's why they sit so high
i'll probably throw some bricks in the back seat and stock suspension back on in the rears
to make it sit better
