    i have a whole mess of questions (help needed!)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    alright first off

    wheels/ride hight

    how big are the S4 wheels?

    17s? if so, how much should i lower my car (about) to give it a nice look (no wheel gap) and so i don't rub, i've also heard too low will make my car handle like cr*p what do you guys think?

    engine

    i know a chipped 1.8t is faster then the 2.8l 30v but what are 1/4mile and top speed runs of both the chipped1.8t and the 2.8l 30v (both with gooddrivers)

    random things

    do b5's come with traction control on the 5speed models? and also on the 5speeds where is reverse?


    ok thats all thanks alot guys

    A good 1/4 mile of a chipped 1.8T is a mid 14 and top speed with just a chipped A4 is not a good idea. The stock tires are only rated to 130 mph and they're pretty crappy. The reverse is to the right of 4th gear and below 5th unlike Volkswagen. If you're car is really low it'll handle great but you'll have a bumpy ride.

    Hope this helps
