It was a great night, my buddy put his snub mount on and we put the spacers on. great look. i love it. really brings out the wheels.

in a few days his rs4 rear sway bar will be in and we are gonna clear corner his headlights. all in all, great time.

im on the left, my buddy kyle is on the right. In case anyone sees us around, stop and say hello. always looking to meet more audi enthusiasts.

Looks good. I think your bumper is a little low, look at the gap on the hood compared to your buddies. Take a T25 driver and adjust the bumpstops from the engine bay.

Lookin' good. As I've mentioned in past posts, spacers are one of the easiest mods to do with big results (appearance-wise). Keep in mind if you drop 20mm will rub. I rubbed with 15mm when i went over dips on freeway or when I had passengers. This was on my B7 with the stocker 17's dropped.

i love them. the problem is that there is nothing to be told how to do it. no tutorials or anything, and i understand its really simple and quick but i was expecting it to be a little more difficult. it was hyped up to be worse then it could ever turn out.

thank you!

they are 45.

you know for stock 17" and the spacers, it just really brings out these cars. we are going tuesday to go get kyle some spacers for his car. he says he dosent want to go as wide as mine, but i think it will look great.

So there is no issue running different size spacers in front and back? Do I need a new allignment if I choose to change out my rear spacers for something wider?

i have had no issues the past 2 days running these. my allignment was not affected at all. so no you should not need a new alignment if you decide to go larger on your spacers.

i got H&R spacers.

Those are good quality, had them on my dad's BMW 7-series on all four corners for 3 years before he sold the car and it never had an issue. Being that the A4 is considerably lighter, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

There have been some recent posts about the hubcenter separating on lower quality spacers...
