What trunk spoiler is that?

[offroader1006]

that would have to be the lowest sport ive seen if it's stock.

and he molded the reiger spoiler into the trunk lid.

extremely clean car, it kinda reminds me of an 04 cobra, it needs to be lower though.

[RSMESS]

you have the exact same headlights and tailights that i have!!

[Maki]

I said for what I know, the last 2 owners didn't know much about the suspension and engine. I will get a new suspension and the S4 sideskirts to get it lower and cleaner though.
Just as offroader1006 said, it's a rieger lip that I bulit in to the trunk.
Thanks for the comments!

Any other shots? The car looks like it has no wheel gap in that picture, (on my old shitty monitor), but looks pretty high off of the ground. I could have sworn when I measured the stock sport suspension on my car with the 16's, it was 26.25". If so, then why did you only lower it .75" ??

Just wanted to see some more pics. Love the Fliks/Sportec wheels, just wanna see the 17's.

Here's one that shows the wheel gap:


I only lowered a little bit because that's the 'optimum height' for performance. Too low and you screw up the roll center, this height is right in between what stasis recommends and what Dick Shine (www.srsvw.com) recommend for our cars.

It probably looks so high because I have no front valance which will be fixed in about a week.

[AWD Mike]

Got it, cool. I have always preferred "slamming" a car for driving, but always raised it up substantially when going to an event/autocross.

Looks good regardless, love the Flik Justices, however played out some feel they may be, they always look good to me.

Loving the 17's too, having a hard time deciding on whether or not I want 17's or 18's.

[Rokit5]

does anyone have oz superturismo gt's???

[curlyfrieS4]

Has anyone ever used A4 H&R RACE springs on an S4?

[Maki]

My old car.
Lowered 40mm and at the time she had a pair of URS4 17" rims. Don't remeber what tires it was though.



Don't comment the eyelids or rear light please

Quick question....Has anybody ran 19's on their B5's? If so, has there been a rubbing issue? What's the best tire size to run? Thanks in advance....

[supamannn99]

whats the ideal offset for a 19x8.5" wheel?

[nrowensby]

ET35-ET40

[supamannn99]

thanks :)

[MrJoshua]

Hi

I'm about to buy some BBS LM Reps in 18x8.5J and I've had conflicting info regarding offset for my B5.

Most people have told me to use ET35, however others have said they might poke too much at the front, and to use ET45 with spacers as necessary.

Also, 225/40/18, or 225/35/18?

Can anyone help please? I need this info asap as I need to place the order today!

P.S. I'm very low on coilovers and currently have 16" Audi Sport wheels with 215/55/16 tyres.

Cheers

Josh

[MrJoshua]

Ahh, not quick enough guys...

I got an offer I couldn't refuse on some 19x8.5 ET45 with 235/35/19's.

Let's hope they fit!!!

[nrowensby]

The good thing is, if you don't like how far back in the feders they sit, you can add spacers. Can't do anything if they poke too far to start with... :)

[MrJoshua]

Good call!

I like some poke in the rear (ooh err!) but like some tuck up front :)

I'm going to order some spacers just in case... Can always stick them on eBay if I don't use them.

[ja(1.8T)ck]

same here but i have bilsteins

I have 18s i just bought but haven't put them on yet

[Dr. Zoiberg]

is there still a place to get the sportec mono 10's? i've been looking around and can't find any to actually purchase. where they discontinued?
is there a place to find flik justices either?

also, H&R sport cup kit vs. touring vs coil overs vs keeping the stock Sport package shocks.
im not looking to slam the car cuz i still need some clearance, but i'd like to get it looking clean and well composed.
