new guy -- A6

[wofman]

just a hi -- very nice ride, about to get rims/tires to replace my 16 stocks; Doesn't anybody here ride on 17s? thinking about pro kit coils "down road"

[FrankA6]

go with 18 or 19's and get eibach or h&r springs/shock kit, with sways...good to go. Have fun.

18's are a good size for our car to enhance looks and handling while keeping an acceptable tire wall and comfort. 19's will work and will maybe lok better but man they can get rough and watch those pot holes... tire wall is short!
I love my most recent setup
18's
Koni FSD
Eibach Pro Kit
Hsport sways

Just wondering if anyone has seen the V-12 Golf GTI which has the smallest tires I have ever seen. If not youtube.com search Top Gear GTI its amazing

[FrankA6]

You mean the W12-650 GTI? , but its just a concept car, but its unreal.

[trapped]

Yes thats it. Just look at the tires they are so thin...

[FrankA6]

Clarkson couldn't even make the car go around a turn, it needs AWD , lol

[Digga]

I ride 17's ..... Not bad. I really want 19's though

[NiveK1970]

you know i watched that when it came on topgear and i thought it was insane, expecially since i had a W12 Phaeton, which is sooooo much heavier and wider and longer and AWD, and i can tell you for fact that there isn't much on the road that could even keep up say from expecially 80mph and up, i couldn't imagine the poor lil golf and how crappy it would be without the AWD, hell my R32 needed it and it was only 250hp, with that being said however, i would still have liked to driven it just for giggles :)

[wofman]

thanks for responses -- I decided on the 17's for the improved handling (as opposed to "looks"); not sure what I did wrong with profile info, but I'm using H&R sways andS4 wheels on a 2000 A6 -- 2.7t engine chipped. I have GIAC installed now -- and ARP that I have not tried yet. Probably showing my age sticking to the 17s, eh?

[wofman]

Digga - where to get the spoiler?

[BadBoyRipper]

go with 19's with Eibach's. It will ride almost like stock, at least mine does. Plus it will look sooooo much better.

[wofman]

so it is the age thing with the 17s (hey, debadged and my windows are somewhat tinted...)
Any sources for s-line spoiler for the A6?

[Gigi]

many places to get the lip spoiler.
Mine is from GMPPerformance. Exaclty like the OEM one.

I think I actually have a C5 A6 rear trunk spoiler, never used, in the box. If you're interested in seeing pics shoot me a PM.
