are your fenders rolled?, any sort of rubbing at all?

My fenders are not rolled, and my rubbing is very minimal. Only on large dips on the highway, or if I carry passengers in the back on moderate to large dips.

How are you keeping your driver seat so crease free?

I don't think I'm doing anything special. I keep it cleaned and conditioned on a fairly regular basis. I try to also take care of how I enter and exit the car to minimize wear on the bolsters. Also, my car is fairly low on mileage with 54K on the clock so I don't drive it all that much.

Nice looking car man! Also wondering the same. What are the wheel tire specs? Sorry didn't read all the way through if you already posted.

They are 20x10 with a +40 offset. My tires are Hankook V12's 255/30/20. Thanks for the props!

I'm only at 9k and I have creases on the side. I'll try conditioning the seats

You should get great results from it and keeps the leather nice and supple as well.

Is there a specific brand that you use or do you switch around?

I get all my car care products from Phil @ Detailer's Domain. I've been using Leather Masters products through the years, and I'm happy with the results.

Modded the hell out of mine too. What do you think about the custom pedals? [IMG]3973261d3c4912fcd00446c0c6aa7aec.jpg[/IMG] or the replaced stock gear shifter. Just thought to post maybe some alternative pedal and shifter options. 2011 B8 DSG.

Hey guys.

[Deckdout2]

Man, I need to update this thread with more goodies.

Hi DeckDout,

Why did you switched to H&R coilovers instead of what you had before (H&R supersport springs right?)?

[Deckdout2]

Hi DeckDout,

Why did you switched to H&R coilovers instead of what you had before (H&R supersport springs right?)?

Yes that's correct. This was the first car I've modified and left the suspension alone because of how well the Audi electronics did with the lowering springs. Also, at that time when I bought the car (2011) it was so new, I didn't want to lose the stock functionality. Every other car I've modified I've always swapped out to coilovers first thing. The SS's, were the perfect drop and there was no module to clear out the suspension codes back then if i went to coils immediately.

Now, I want the adjust ability in height and an aftermarket dampened spring/strut combo in the event I swap out wheels and tires again (pushing the envelope on clearance), or do an Auto-x event day. Not sure that I will, but I like the option too.......all that and cause I got a great deal on this set is why I decided to make the switch.

It's very compliant and feels exactly how I want it setup, firm but not harsh. The SS's were the same and great minus the height adjustments.

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear you had a great time with the SS's. I'm planning to install them this week :)

Are you still on the 20" Rotors? How are they holding up? Looking at getting the same set off of Ebay.. Thanks..

I am. This is my 2nd set, they are great in terms of strength and durability. Reason for my second set is cause I curbed 3 of them. They're so cost effective that buying another set or 1 or 2 isn't going to break the bank. Highly recommended.

Awesome. Thanks for reply back. Any rubbing with that offset? My car is roughly same ride height. Thanks

How come all the pics are blurry from photobucket? Sorry if this is irrelevant to the thread

There's a few factors that will depend on rub, and the margins are small. Do you have adjustable upper control arms up front? If you're as low as I am, you may want to introduce some negative camber to prevent any rubbing with sharp turns. Rear only rubs over large transitions on the highway, other than that no rubbing over bumps or city driving. If you're not quite as low then you shouldn't have any issues. I was on H&R Supersport springs and was lower than on these H&R Coils, and the rub was still minimal.

Where did you get the rotors from? I have been looking but cant find the your +35 offset version. Only finding +25 versions. I know those will stick out to much.

There is a seller on ebay that you can pick them up from in this offset. I had to be kind of specific in my search.

I can’t see pics, they are blurred with photobucket logo.

Interesting. I can see them clear as day on my end. Not sure why they're blurry, will have to find another host.
