    My 2006 A8 L, Grey/Armaretto, Lowering Links, 20" Wheels, Tint

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Finally got around to taking so quick pics of my car. Sorry for the back ground I took them at work :(

    A lot of people want to know how low you can go with the OEMPL.us lower links, will here you go. We could actually go lower but Rich and I decided this was low enough :D This is on my Dynamic setting by the way, approx 2 inches high on lift and 1in higher on comfort.

    Wheels are MRR 20x9 all the way around, H&R Spacers 5mm front and 10mm rear with longer bolts also installed. Tires are 255/35/20.

    Hope you guys like it!

    Looks great. I'd personally raise it just a hair and push those wheels out a bit more...

    Congrats on the new mod. Looks awsome, job well done!

    BTW, how does the air ride system work on the D3? Do any of you D3 owners know where the air tank and compressor(s) are installed on the car? Thanks.

    Re: My 2006 A8 L, Grey/Armaretto, Lowering Links, 20" Wheels, Tint

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate the compliments, Been modding cars for a while now ;)

    Believe or not I can still drive the car at this height, wheels turn lock to lock no rubbing, just don't try to go over a speed bump or drive way.

    The next setting up is comfort, approx. 1" higher, and after that is Lift, approx. 2" higher, I usually drive in comfort or lift mode. Car is still smooth in both those settings.

    The wheels are MRR, and can be had for a very GOOD price, contact Nick @ Autobahn Exotics, they hooked me up.

    I really wanted a Black A8L, but couldn't find one with the options I was seeking (Amaretto, Sport Package, etc.) So I settled on this color and it has grown on me quite a bit. Still try to find an exhaust that I like or I might just go the custom route.

    Again, I really appreciate the comments, Thanks!

    I wanted to get the 265's but they weren't available in this tire, Next time around I am going to get 265's for sure, should improve the ride as well.

    There is BARLEY enough room for a 265 in the rear, right now when its on Dynamic mode (pics) I can't get my finger between the tire and inner linings, I love it!

    Theres a BIG Audi meet this Sunday at the Irvine Spectrum, 70+ Audis, and your car can make a great addition. Plus there are a couple caravans from LA to the meet if interested.

    Looks like you could get bigger spacers in the front/rear to bump out those tires to sit them flush with your fenders.
    Also, what part of LA are you in?
