just picked up a B8

[erickim080387]

2009 IW Premium Plus 2.0 Quattro A4

$0 down

$371.89 Total Drive Off (license fees)

$517/Month with Audi Care on a 36 month lease.

What do you guys think about that deal?

[A4A4A4]

Seems like a pretty good deal, now lets see some pics!

BTW one of my best friends is named Eric Kim... weird

[erickim080387]

lol. pics will come soon.. ive spent like 4 hours at the dealership.. and i am embarrassed to post up pics of a stock A4! i want to drop 1.5-2 inches and get some 19" or 20". Can you point me in the right direction for springs? or are there no parts out for this car yet. only suspension i found for the b8 are ohlins coils and those are a little over my budget.

[TonyD]

It'd probably be best to just go with coilovers. Springs will eventually mess up your shocks. Either route you take, we can get you the parts. Just let me know!

[erickim080387]

^ I cant find anything for B8.. am i looking in the wrong place? what springs do you have and how much do each drop? i might get some shocks too while im at it. ive had coilovers before.. but its too stiff and corner balance + alignment can get costly..

[TonyD]

I'm actually not 100% sure if there are springs yet. I'm going to have to check up on that. I know there are some coilovers out but I need to check up on the springs.

[A4A4A4]

Don't waste your money on springs. You just got a 40 some thousand dollar car, give it the suspension it deserves and get a good set of coilovers.

its a lease.. and i dont really drive spirited.. i just want it to look good. for 3 years.

[A4A4A4]

Your shocks aren't going to last 3 years with just springs.

[erickim080387]

how long will they last?

[10blazin]

a day lol

[erickim080387]

H&R has already developed springs and coilovers for the B8. Their Sport springs will lower the car 1.2 inches all around. The coilovers provide a 1.0 - 2.2 inch drop front and rear. The springs are in stock and ready to ship at H&R.

Let me know if you're interested.

I like the pictures, this is probably my favorite. Be sure to put up more once you've decided on your suspension setup. I'm really starting to like the B8.

[quattro.it]

I'd say you did well on the lease.

You have a pm!

I checked out the other pictures you have listed on your website. I like the photos you took downtown LA. There are some great shots there. Keep up the good work

[vjma]

Just installed KW V2 2 days ago. Pretty impressed so far. Ride is a little bit firmer than before but perfectly acceptable and the handling is completely transformed. You can look into that.

hmm, its probably just my bad photography.. lol. its 1000% OEM.

[vjma]

I don't mind at all but since I am not in the US it may not make much sense to you. Total cost plus installation is about US$2000. Here's a picture...

[Hockenheim]

leasing a luxury car...


Also why would you bother modding a car you don't own?

Damn nice car though, Ibis is the best color you can get

[Vuel Egham]

Interior is beautiful. Can't wait to start seeing pictures of state-side S4s.

[thenicholsterr]

OMG I LUV UR CAR!!!

should have waited for the B8

lol whats wrong with leasing a luxury car? i get tired of cars too fast... which is why i leased. and i think i got a damn good deal on it too...

ive modded my 350z which was on a 5 year lease.. and im not sure about the audi market, but i really havent lost much money buying and selling parts for the z. went through 6 sets of rims and tires, 3 body kits, 3 different exhaust systems, 3 different hoods, etc etc.. i just want my car to look good?

OMG I LUV UR CAR!!!

should have waited for the B8

haha thanks. i mean its not the best performing car.. but i am getting old..

[jloh]

Congrats on the new car! Ibis White looks awesome!

[Audi_A5]

i am actually looking forward to seeing YOUR pics, after you install 19" with the springs. maybe then I can get an idea of how much i want to drop + what size rims i want.

[AUDITOPGUN]

Congrats Eric nice pictures who was your salesperson at Penske. now put some 19 and you are set.

Jared Miller. He is a great guy and gave me a great deal. Highly recommend him to others.

but I will take before and after shots..

[erickim080387]

^thank you much!!

[erickim080387]

by the way...

"New order: Ibis white A4 B8 1.8 TFSI "
isnt it 2.0T? or am i missing something?

[Audi_A5]

no error there ;) I think the 1.8 TFSI engines only are available in EU
it's a 120ps engine but will be chipped at Audi to 211ps under warranty
small engine to avoid heavy taxation here ;)

[vjma]

the 1.8TFSI is rated at 160hp, not 120.

[erickim080387]

ooh ic.
