Phil your car looks awesome I wish you were closer to VA so I could have you do some work on my car.

Vossen had a B8 A4... This is Nght&Day's old car:

Yea his car was awesome. Those vossen wheels are incredible...
Although, he had those wheels only for the photoshoot.

I am happily riding on his vogtland coilovers now

I am actually in love with how those look. Phil those on black would be a win.

Looks like the factory part still has a better fit and finish...

**Blake P** · 11-29-2011 03:22 PM

That looks awesome, Phil!

You're very welcome Phil. The car is looking clean and nice!!

**DetailersDomain** · 11-29-2011 04:28 PM

thanks guys. four ring it looks great in person, I believe what your seeing is the water giving off some reflections of fitment issues.

**KarimS3** · 11-29-2011 04:32 PM

What exhaust do you have? Love the tips.

**DetailersDomain** · 11-29-2011 04:33 PM

AWE, I was looking at getting the ovals not sure yet.

**BRENZ06** · 11-29-2011 04:53 PM

Damn you!!! I was just there yesterday. Looks great. Would have liked to seen it in person

**DetailersDomain** · 11-29-2011 04:57 PM

lol, when I got home last night it was sitting there. ;)

**socfan12** · 11-30-2011 05:01 PM

looks great, Phil!

**dawei213** · 11-30-2011 05:13 PM

I like it. The OEM silver rear valance sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm thinking of getting my stock rear valance painted body color.

**DetailersDomain** · 12-04-2011 01:41 PM

I have a set of Eibach 5mm Spacers for sale for the S4 as well as a Sprint Booster.

Hit me up

**DetailersDomain** · 12-27-2011 02:22 PM

AWE Oval Tips just came in

**DetailersDomain** · 12-30-2011 01:46 PM

Oval tips installed more pics to come

**tsaktuo** · 12-30-2011 03:03 PM

I was thinking about going with oval tips when I swap out the exhaust, but I'm feeling the quad tips more now that I see this.

Either way, car looks great!

**DetailersDomain** · 01-07-2012 07:41 PM

Getting the S4 ready for the winter...

The weather was so nice out in NJ today, after finishing up a couple of clients' cars I had a chance to wash and use a new product we just got in Wolf's Shine and Seal - a new all in one product.

Take a look at a few pics I took after the application.

**S4Meteor-ite** · 01-08-2012 03:24 PM

stunning pictures, thats mad gloss! loving the car, they the CH-R's 9.5 width? ET 40?

One of my favourite threads.

**NPuter** · 01-08-2012 03:28 PM

Please move to Miami...

**DetailersDomain** · 01-08-2012 03:52 PM

thanks guys!

they are 19x9.5 et45

**DetailersDomain** · 02-15-2012 06:51 PM

If time permits this year I want to run the S4 on the track with some buddies this track season. This triggered the want for a more precise /crisp handling experience with the S4.
An excuse to pick up some new parts. (its cheaper than buying a new car ; ) ) Seeing that the Eurocode S4 did well in the Euro Tuner article I figure this would be a great step, as well richib86 highly recommended it.

Dropped Dave a call at Eurocode and let me tell you he knows his B8 suspensions! He gave me a ton of information I didn't know about.

Did you know:
1. the nuts and bolts on the links are all one time use.
2. there are torque specs on all the drop link bolts
3. there are torque specs on the mounting brackets of the sways

All the above I believe helped the S4 handle better.

New Parts (Eurocode stock photos, hope you guys don't mind)

Eurocode’s ÜSS front and rear stabilizer bars - measures in at 32mm and has two adjustment settings which are 50% and 75% stiffer than stock. Eurocode’s ÜSS rear stabilizer bar measures in at 25.5mm and has two adjustment settings which are 50% and 70% stiffer than stock.

Eurocode ÜSS Billet Aluminum Adjustable Front End Link

Here are the pics at the shop.

Great packaging

Drop links and 1 time use hardware

Sways

Install Photos

Installed by Drive Auto Works. (thanks guys, especially Kevin for hanging late you ROCK)

H&R and stock links

Front H&R and Eurocode

Eurocode

Initial Thoughts -
- Great quality on the sways.
- 2 adjustments for both front and rear.
- The drop links are beautiful! (matched the front adjustments with the stock for now)

Driving impression (after 2 days of local and highway driving)

- The handling improved over the H&R set up with stock drop links. The way I can describe it - the first time you drove your car after you installed your Alu Kreuz. The Euro Code drop links and sways provided a precise, crisp, cleaner, tighter performance. This set up provided more confidence. I only can say I can't wait to get more miles on this set up and back to my summer set up. (currently running snows)

I have a set of H&R front and rear sways for sale hit me up ; )

**DATZ** · 02-15-2012 07:09 PM

Thanks for the write-up, Phil. Was thinking about adding these sways and end links and I think you just sealed it for me!

**Blake P** · 02-15-2012 08:20 PM

Did he have any other suspension recommendations, especially in regards to coilovers? I know you considered ditching the Bilsteins...

**richib86** · 02-15-2012 08:31 PM

there are plenty of dialed in alignment specs that they recommend too. good post phil

**FITZ TITS** · 02-16-2012 04:37 AM

Is there a market for our stock rear valance?

**DetailersDomain** · 02-16-2012 06:32 AM

blake, with this set up I'm keeping the the PSS10's they rock with it.

I was able to cancel out the kw order. no more noise etc. all good.

**richib86** · 02-16-2012 07:12 AM

so what was causing the noise phil, did i miss that?

**DetailersDomain** · 02-16-2012 07:22 AM

i'm going to say it was a mystery...and its gone now so I'm glad and happy.

**ENV²** · 02-16-2012 12:31 PM

Awesome stuff Phil! Im just waiting on some money to come in before my next step in my mods. Its tough to figure out a tune/pulley or wheels and all these suspension goodies + Alu Kreuz
