My '07 S6: Put on HRE 591Rs & KW v3 coilovers

[sammytown]

I've been reading up here at Audizine ever since I got my S6 a few months ago...great site!

Just had a set of HRE 591Rs and KW variant 3 coil overs put on this past week. I went with 19" for extra protection...the roads here can be brutal.

The car sitting a bit uneven right now (1 finger gap in rear, 2 in front) so I'll get the c/o's adjusted in a week or two once I get some miles on them. I chanced into the wheels...they'd already been made up for a customer who backed (and lost his deposit). So, I was able to grab them for a pretty good deal.

Here's a look:

first reply victory for me, anyways, the car looks great, whats the width of the wheels and what size tires, anyways awesome looking car, nice work.

[sammytown]

Thanks, Frank. The HREs are 19" x 9.5". Tires are stock Conti Sport Contact2 (265/35 ZR19). I have a set of Blizzaks for the winter time and had them mounted on the OEM S6 rims. My local Audi dealer (Barrier) did the coilover and wheel mounting. My tech thought the HRE's weighed a good 10 lbs less each than the stock wheels. So far, so good.

Not only do you have a wicked car but you have wicked wheels to match.

You sir, are the the pimp of the Puget.

[oc-drop]

What a great setup, looks like you researched a bit =)

Are you kidding me? I wish I was back in Seattle on that silky smooth I-5 roads. Except past the North Gate area. By the way, Very nice ride!

[m-avant]

[roccodan]

Really nice choice. Fits the car perfectly.

[lodit]

That car is soooo slick!

Looks like you took the wife's lip gloss and spread it all over the car.

Wow...magical.

Nice job.

[sevenstarz]

I can see the potential. Once you get the stance taken care of, it will be real nice.

Peace

[VJ's A6]

Very nice car,Yea i miss seattle, the short four beautifull months each year, used to live by downtown in a town called magnolia.

[sammytown]

Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys. I had a few people stop me in parking lots, etc over the weekend to ask the wheels and suspension. So far, the set up is working just great (no rubbing or clearance issues at all).

I take it back in this Friday for another adjustment on the coilovers.

On Seattle: yes, it's a great place to live. And, yes, our summer is finally just beginning :)

nice s6, the wheels are bit too small for my taste but still a wonderful done up car

[MOFSTEEL]

Yeah, im not feeling the wheels.
Not into the polished and they look smaller than 19's.
Nice choice on coilovers though.

[Gigi]

Awesome wheels on a great car, once you get that suspension ajusted it'll be perfect!
Got $ to buy me one?:)

[kingkong1]

Would you be interested in selling the stock 19s. I could also send you the stock 18's for an 4.2 sline

[sammytown]

Thanks, kingkong. I have a set of Blizzaks for the winter time (it does snow here in Seattle a couple of times a year + I travel across the mountain passes) and I've had them mounted on to the stock rims, so I'll be holding on to them.

do you drive around redmond much I think I have seen that beast around town

[wRek]

Damn... I'd love to see that thing around some time.

Beautiful car.

[Limen]

Great looking ride, love the HRE's

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of gas mileage do you get with that V10 under the hood?

[sammytown]

Thanks, guys. I've get lots of postive comments on the mods.

I do drive around Redmond regularly as I work for a smallish software company located there.

For gas mileage, I get about 16.4 mpg for my commute (mostly city driving). At highway cruising speed (70+), I get between 21-22 mpg.

I took the S6 to Pacific Raceways about two weeks ago and it was just a fantastic handling car. I had it up to 135 on the straight and was able to brake(hard) and reel it in for the turns. The coilovers make a big difference in my estimation.

Sammytown.

[Kievskiy]

looks nice, but i would go much much wider.

[Limen]

Wow, I thought the gas mileage would have been quite a bit lower than that. I hardly get better MPG in my 4.2 V8 A6!!!
