I wish i still had the car to part out.. insurance company got their dirty little hands on it and took her away. Then they wanted 4 grand to buy it back... But to tell you how it happened.. I was giving this girl a ride home from work when she decided it would be funny to jerk the steering wheel on the wet pavement. Quattro wasn't getting me outta this one.. 60mph on wet pavement sent us into a spin as we flew across the oncoming lane into a gaurd rail, through a ditch, and over a drive way. spent two weeks on the couch, with a lacerated spleen. it wasn't a good time. there wasn't much left i could part out, the turbo had split in half on the compresser side, 3 of the 4 wheels either lost their lips or had hole chunks missing from them, intercooler was broken in two. thats all i could really tell from the little i got to inspect. Oh well it all works out cause i'm in the process of buying vmsturbo's whip

**SoleMate** · 02-23-2005 02:25 PM

I really like those new HPs..look like Dronnels/dtm 20s

**TheDude** · 02-23-2005 02:40 PM

^^^^^Thanks, I was in love with the Dronnels when i first saw them, but i couldnt afford them so i went with a cheaper look alike.

**MR VTEC** · 02-24-2005 06:43 AM

Geez

**IndieRockSteve** · 02-24-2005 11:52 AM

B5T28- how did the interior fare in the accident? can you still buy it back at 4K? might be worth it if you wanna put some work into turning the seats into living room seats, and that kinda thing.

those D10's are nice

**B5T28** · 02-24-2005 03:21 PM

all the airbags deployed, so it wasn't a purty inside.. on that note the airbag system in our cars rules.. it turned into a giant pillow of white bags... hah

**jones3000** · 02-24-2005 03:55 PM

Please keep it on topic. Sorry about your accident, but anyone else from now on please PM him if you want to know what happened with his car. thanks.

**BananaBoy_S4** · 02-24-2005 05:26 PM

aftermarket springs on stock shocks? good?bad? ok?

**TomRitt18944** · 02-24-2005 05:35 PM

**Axxis** · 02-24-2005 05:39 PM

H&R Race Springs on stock sport shocks. rolling on 19"

**TomRitt18944** · 02-24-2005 05:49 PM

How long have the shocks lasted, I had just springs on my jetta and they blew w/in 2 months.

now you've been around here long enough to know the answer to this. . . even though you hang out in the S4 forum. Aftermarket springs with OEM shocks, whether sport or not is pretty much AT YOUR OWN RISK. Of course many have done it, but there is a right and wrong way to do things. The right way is to upgrade your shocks as well. If you feel you must do it, at least consider sport instead of race springs. You can search this subject on here and even on AW. It's been beaten to death.

**Axxis** · 02-24-2005 06:14 PM

Mine have been on for 2 1/2 years like this... Plus all the wear and tear the shocks have gotten from before... how its possible, I dont understand

**BananaBoy_S4** · 02-24-2005 08:35 PM

its just that i either go with new wheels or suspension and new tires

**nramsey** · 02-24-2005 10:19 PM

Ok, finally have something to post here.

Hey are you running H&R sports and Bilstein sports? If so what mount points are you set at?

I have an 01 S4 Avant and just got a set of 19" RS4 reps. Wanted to know if my ride hight will be the same as yours once I get the same spring shock setup ....

Thanks
