**d0ve5185** · 04-14-2005 08:31 AM

is anyone out there running 19 x 8.5 on a stock body b5?? If so, please tell me your suspension, how low ur drop is, and wat size tires.. im wondering whether i can push it or not.. thanks

**jones3000** · 04-14-2005 09:36 AM

I know EVIL ran 19's. I'm not sure what the with was though. I believe his suspension was H&R Race with Koni shocks, bt don;t quote me on that.

I guess I'll chime in...

I've know only one person to ride a setup like that.

19x8.5 Dronell M10's on Koni CO's. He couldn't get away w/ a setup like that w/o flaring the fenders out a bit. The fronts moreso than the rears. Ride height was ~25 1/2 all around w/ the tires just barely tucked behind the fender.

It looks totally awesome tho...

If you have rolling stocks with Eibach Pro + Shocks your car will look like this:

is it just me? or does it seem like everyone owns a black a4?

**A4-Vblack** · 04-15-2005 02:56 PM

I can finally add to a suspension thread!

Bilstien Grooved Sport Shocks w/ H&R Race Springs - 18"X8" RS4 Replicas wrapped in Michelin Pilot PS2s

I've already adjusted the height twice, but I'm doing it again this weekend. Going up another 1/2" in the front and 3/8" in the back. Then it should be perfect.............

Used to look like this................. :(

**jones3000** · 04-18-2005 12:24 PM

^^Is that ebony??? nice color man.

**derek2079** · 04-18-2005 04:09 PM

that drop looks perfect how it is now. dont touch it

***RippleChip*** · 04-18-2005 04:30 PM

Looks good, but I agree it should go up a touch. Couldn't drive like that around here.

**AFOUR_PLAY** · 04-19-2005 08:49 PM

Anyone have H&R Race springs on std sports shocks?

A4_2.8tuner has it but you need to change out the shocks, because they will give out...

::edit:: those are neuspeed race springs... im pretty sure it will look about the same...

**jones3000** · 04-25-2005 07:25 AM

just cause I can.

**Poopie** · 04-25-2005 07:59 AM

Anyone run the ractive coilover set? They retail for $170. I assume i will need shocks?

**buck** · 04-27-2005 06:36 AM

I can now join this thread!

before:

Stock-sport suspension
18" RS4 reps et35
26.5" average fender to ground gap

now

Koni Coilovers
same wheels
25.2" average fender to ground gap
no rolled fenders - no rubbing
set to about 40% stiff (dampening)

rides like a lowered car - little stiffer, but overall, still a good ride... not too harsh.

On H&R Street c/o with 19x8.5 fake Carlssons. Only other exterior mods are xenon ecodes, debadged, and rolled front fenders.

**ooa4oo** · 04-29-2005 03:23 AM

damn tre..i like the height of your car with the 19's... i was contimplating getting 18s or 19s...since 18s are just a bit too small and 19s are just a bit too big. i thought about stepped 19s w/ an 18in face.. but after seeing your pic..i think if its low enough 19s with a nice reverse lip would look pretty good. would you happen to know what height your car is sitting at?

**Trefive** · 04-29-2005 02:00 PM

I don't know the "exact" height...but it's about ground to fender 24.5" up front and about 24.25" rear. It took a while to find a nice height to drive every day as low as possible with minimal to no rubbing and I think I found it.
