Sportec/ABT ???

**1sicknickel** · 07-21-2004 11:51 AM

Okay I want to go with the Sportec front and also buy the ABT sides do you think the kit will match or will the ABT sides hang too low

**L3x** · 07-21-2004 12:32 PM

I think you should go all the way with one kit. I personally don't like to mix and match, but that's my opinion. And I think the Sportec kit is badass.

**foofighter** · 07-21-2004 01:03 PM

post some pics up of abt sides so we can see

Mixing and matching is difficult to pull off well. If you can do it, then go for it. I personally like the Sportec stuff better overall...

**1sicknickel** · 07-21-2004 01:21 PM

I am also too broke for the full sportec and I dont plan on going with any rear bump for the time being so I am going to run with the stock. Duan what sides are you running

**foofighter** · 07-21-2004 01:22 PM

sportec my friend...

**1sicknickel** · 07-21-2004 01:26 PM

I think I might just run with Sportec sides and front and then some custom Fab to the sportec front to make me diff.

**AudiSyte** · 07-21-2004 01:45 PM

IMHO, the Sportec sides don't even look like that nice. They look pretty much the same as our OEM sides. I don't think the ABT sides will look bad at all. It will give the car a very nice looking aggressive stance with the Sportec front. Personally, I think the Kerscher sides are the nicest

**CO AVANT** · 07-21-2004 02:00 PM

mmmmm...kerscher sides and sportec front is whats going on my ride.

of course that begs the question, if the sportecs are so similar to the OEM sides, why do they cost so much more? OEM sides are $160/pr, sportecs are $500+

**A4Shizl** · 07-21-2004 04:28 PM

Yo, peter.. as you know, I'm only running the sportect front. Blake is sportec all the way around and Lance has a mixmatch of things. You and I both know tha all the cars look good. IMO, its all up to you.. besides, its your money... spend it wisely....

**foofighter** · 07-21-2004 04:37 PM

matt: that's cuz it's sportec meng...seriously if i had to do it all over again...i'd just paint my sides at least i'd be able to use a dam floor jack or the factory jack. But that's probably the same thing w/ most aftermarket sides.

**Matt Devo** · 07-21-2004 05:55 PM

foo:

I had the sportec 19's, I know how it is, it's just exorberant that's all. I had an accident with the stock jack and have to replace one of my sideskirts, and was looking at aftermarket sides, but there's no way I can justify the prices. At least with the front/rear bumpers they are in the same ballpark as OEM stufff.

**1sicknickel** · 07-21-2004 05:57 PM

But I told wayne I was gonna do just the front and he was like and?? Meaning what else are you gonna put on. What do you think about votex sides

**Quatime** · 07-21-2004 06:03 PM

Go with Sportec front and sides. If you look at the Abt sides you see that they have like a notch in them on the front of the side skirt. So I think that it would hurt the overall clean lines of the Sportec front. Sportec front and either Kerscher or Caractere sides would be nice. As for the rear I say go with S4, it lines up nicely with the Sportec sides. But I say to bite the bullet and pay for the Sportec sides. It does suck that their stuff is so much

I'm not looking forward to my Sportec interior but at least I'll have a good flowing interior and exterior

**astris** · 07-21-2004 07:11 PM

I don't even want to know how much the Sportec interior is going to cost you Blake. Aren't the pedals around $300??? All I know is that it will look awesome. What interior stuff do they make besides mats and pedals?

**foofighter** · 07-21-2004 07:14 PM

pedals are close to $500 just for the pedal...shift knob and ebrake not sure bout.

blake: you going w/ their sport seats etc? Cuz that is going to be MONEY...i looked into this intially and i judge from the rest of their line i would have had a heartattack

**astris** · 07-21-2004 07:23 PM

The Sportec interior stuff is SOOO expensive. Did some number crunching and just the shifter, floor mats, and pedals would cost around $1100 !!!

Can't imagine how much the seats are. Any pics of them?

From the content you're getting new door panels euro sport seats front and back

**astris** · 07-21-2004 07:35 PM

DAMN!!! That stuff is soo nice. The door panels and seats look awesome. I have never seen them before. If a shift knob costs $300 I can't even fathom the price of the seats.

**foofighter** · 07-21-2004 07:36 PM

EXACTLY that's why i opted out of that even w/ my partial sponsorship from them. it's crazy nutty.

for fun here's the RS6 from Sportec

**astris** · 07-21-2004 07:49 PM

I saw a Sportec (512 or 520, don't remember) for sale on Ebay not too long ago. It was beautiful. The auction hadn't ended yet, but it was selling for the price of of a regular RS6

The guy was getting rid of it so he could buy an SUV.

**gohan** · 07-21-2004 07:59 PM

i think sportec is overrated, even with their body kits, the fitment and material isnt that top notch. and the prices for those interior stuff? i duno... i rather get momo shiftknobs and recaro seats cause atleast ppl heard of them.

but then again, if one has the money, why not.

**canadian_driver** · 07-21-2004 09:12 PM

i really like the sport tech e-break, whats thier website?

**foofighter** · 07-21-2004 09:16 PM

www.3tassociates.com or sportec.ch

**Quatime** · 07-22-2004 01:40 AM

Ya I'm not going TOTAL Sportec interior. Just the pedals, shift knob, e-brake, and floor mats. There is no way in hell I could justify spending the cash on those seats so I'm going to go with Recaros. I would love to get the FMIC too cause the blacked out core with "Sportec" in white looks freaking amazing, but I haven't looking into that yet but if I remember A4NCAR posted a price for it and it was disgusting. But we'll see

**A4 - Oh Snap** · 07-22-2004 01:48 AM

Those polished Sportec pictures you posted a while ago were crazy nutty.
