    Your rotors will look like that too, after a wash

    To the OP, much, much, better but still not feeling those wheels/color combo... keep it up SSR's are legit though, might look alot better if they were powdercoated a diff. color / had a different finish

    What is that decal you have on one of your windows?

    drop looks good...... so does the neighborhood. the wheels would look better with a blacked out grill and blacked out window trim.

    The same thing happened to me the first time I washed my car... I thought I missed something when I bought the car, but then I realized it was due to the wash... a couple of minutes of driving solved that problem...

    OP, your car looks MUCH better now that you've got it dropped a bit... Someone made that Q7 comment on the other thread, and I was wondering why your car looked like it was raised... Even the stock A4s I have seen with the non-sport suspension didn't look that high... Looks good...

    Re: Finally!

    I noticed you also color matched your reflectors during the before pics Sneaky sneaky... That'll probably be the next thing I do... How hard is it to get Ocean Blue Pearl color matched?

    A local Audi Club. I live in MN and so a MNOOOO decal! And for the wheels. I know the black is just alright too, but i'm going to rock them till they get some chips on them then get them redone another color.

    It is in the works. I just need to see what the guys at the shop can do for me for the trim!

    Yeah the Q7 comment was one that made me laugh. I don't know why mine looked so high in pictures with the stock suspension. but the ride is great and for MN winters the current set up is perfect. My b5 was really low and the snow was gettting to be a problem so this should be great!

    Yeah I know sneaky! It shouldn't be too hard! I tried to do them myself with some paint i got. the paint just wouldn't stick to the reflecters no matter how much i sanded them. I took them to a shop and got them all done for $35. And they look great. I would bring them to a local shop and have them do it, if you can't find one PM me and we can work something out!!

    Mine looked like an SUV when I first got it too. It's not just the pics. Mine looked like that in person and in pics. Better looking with the drop, just still not feeling the rims with that color. If your car was white, it would be better.

    Re: Finally!

    Should settle a little more. Funny how people say "drop it more." But for some -myself included - its a pain in the ass if its a daily driver and you know you have to drive on certain roads, driveways, entrances, snow, etc (yes I know, insert 'get coilovers' here). The Eibach height eventually is a good balance between lower than oem sport, yet just high enough to where you won't bottom out too much.

    non-sport = ~27.5
    stock sport = ~26.5
    Eibach = ~25.5 (to OP for reference I am at 25.25 in front, 25 in rear and is alot lower than I wanted!)
