Which DYI are you guys using for your CO's?

[Rapter]

I've done a search and came up with a couple, but then read something about the MOFO Pinch bolt not needing to come out. In the one DYI it states if you have a high mileage S4 to go about it another way. Basically I want to see which one most people are using now a days and if there are any little tips that haven't been updated in the DIY I've found. Here's what I found...

A. http://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel28.shtml

Which then at step # 3 it says to use this DIY

That right there is 25.5" all around????? [O_O] Or was it 25.5" all around before it settled? I don't know if its the angle or something, but that shit looks slammed! If that's 25.5" then I might be 26.25" and 26.5" in the rear.

I used option A...I did both ways....prying the plastic cap and removed the three 17mm bolts...removing the three 17mm bolts method was easier for me...and when you put everthing back together...just use anti-seize...make job much better for next times around

That was taken a day after the install, about 10 hours later, and it had settled substantially from my initial settings of 25.5...By the time it got to the alignment shop, it was about an inch lower at each corner...

Hey man I do it differently from everyone.

1. I take the lower bolt out, unhook the sway bar, and swing the bottom of the shock over the control arm.

2. I take out the 3 16mm bolts from the engine bay and drop that sucker out

3. I take the 2 13mm nuts out and boom I'm done.

I hate those pinch bolts, Ive had nothing but problems with them, so I dont touch them

That's the exact same way I do it. Are they 16mm bolts on the B6?
