Shon's RS5

**shonseb** · 05-07-2015 07:35 PM

LOL, thanks everyone for the comments!

The rotor picture looks more aggressive because I'm in the middle of a turn and the leaning of the car is causing the tires to tuck just a bit, giving it an overall more aggressive appearing stance. Next week I'll be hitting the tail again in the same direction and hopefully I can get better pics with the CH-R. I honestly love the CH-Rs, they look much better in person with the titanium finish contrasting off the blue. These pics don't do it justice. It's a classic OEM+ look that never grows old to me. That being said, these wheels will be replaced very soon!

God, how I love your car with those BBS in black Ben! Just as I do Scotty and Mazen's! Just something about the black CH-R's!

Though the Ti rotors still look more aggressive when compared to the Ti CH-Rs in all angles imo. Also not sure if Shon has spacers or not with the rotors? IMO the Ti rotors along with the matte black rotors on Sepang/BO just can't be beat! Gives the RS in sepang one hell of a look!

What rims are coming next Shon?

Yeah I am running spacers on the rotors, those are the non aggressive ones from ECS. I have the aggressive set as well which I'll probably try next time I have the Rotors on. I was thinking about a front spacer for the CHRs, we'll see.

Next set is still an OEM plus look, a wheel that has already been seen.

**shonseb** · 05-08-2015 03:18 PM

Here are some other pics with the CH-Rs, taken last weekend. This is my first attempt at any kind of real photography...

**ssv22** · 05-08-2015 03:41 PM

^^ they look much better now. I like the rotors more but thats just my personal preference :)

**LimaSierra** · 05-08-2015 04:44 PM

Fantastic Shon!

Got European tail lights a few weeks ago. First tried ordering from Europe, but the attachments are definitely different, even different on face lift.

Returned those back to Europe. Even if it did come with the correct harness, coding may have been needed because when I got them from Europrice they needed to be coded (my first time dealing with them, excellent communication from Alex).

Pic with hazards, tail lights, and reverse lights on (USP led reverse bulbs also).

Thanks Octo! Yeah I love the difference the amber makes under the red. It's surprising that Audi didn't keep the amber in the tails and just made them with all red leds. Not sure why, I don't think it's actually illegal...

The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't want to deal with the hassle of doing that. If I ever needed to remove them and go back to stock, I would want everything back in original form.

@Shon - FIRE!!!

@Mops@SuporemePower - Would you jsut go get your A5 BACK!!!!

**AbeViator** · 03-23-2016 07:37 AM

Great setup on the RS man! Love the CI-R's on Sepang

**patmusk** · 03-23-2016 07:58 AM

Perfect.

**HazeMyth** · 03-23-2016 07:59 AM

Meh, looks alright.

Said no one ever! 10/10 would bang.

**shonseb** · 03-23-2016 01:09 PM

Wow thanks for all the positive feedback! And also thanks again to Kenny! Love the CI-R's but thinking about changing it up in the near future. Other than a few 3 piece wheels with step lips, there are very few out there that appeal to me.

I've just gone for the Vossen VPS 306, the S101 has been done quite a few times now so wanted to try something different. Only seen the TAG RS5 on these Vossens so let's see how they look. Still torn on the color option though.

**ibisb8kenny** · 03-24-2016 07:02 AM

Thanks for the shoutout Shon, beautiful car indeed and even @bbs.wheels post those wheels up!

Thanks! Just installed airlift 3h last week. Still getting used it, but I love that I can take questionable roads much easier than I was on coils, and still retain that low profile look and (hopefully) retaining the performance. I took some sweepers and it handled it pretty good, but I still haven't pushed through back to back corners, chicanes, etc.

It does look great. How often are you driving the car these days?

Seems like that 3H pkg is the way to go with Airlift. I'm definitely curious about feedback from taking the car to a track or some spirited driving/cornering on bags since I've heard mixed opinions on that topic.

What wheel/tire size you running Shon? (or BK for Shon :D )

**Mops@Nemesis** · 05-23-2016 08:20 PM

Looks super good! Prefer the rear to come up a bit. The CI-R look so nice at this angle. The satin black ones would look awesome, and the brakes would pop so hard.

**shonseb** · 07-19-2016 06:51 PM

3 pics I took with my cell phone from waterfest this past weekend. Had a great time meeting up with teky, mops, mopette, nputr, ibleedorange, ibiskennyb8, jkwons, and of course BKnewtype. Also a few others I missed. Nearly got everyone arrested for trespassing but worth it to get some awesome shots. Nputr got some pro shots that he should be editing very soon. Enjoy!
