My (simple) B8.5 allroad Build

[S4BlackCab]

This won't be an on-going build thread as it's the wife's car and she wants it as close to stock as possible. After almost a year of ownership, finally pulled off the suspension and wheel upgrades.

-B8 Avant Sline Springs (w/ stock allroad struts)
-RS5 20x9 V-Spoke Wheels
-255/35/20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS

Next up is tint and then it's complete.

Nice and clean. Looks like a factory edition.

Looking good. Those wheels definitely look better in the 20" version than that 19" version that comes on the S4.

[S4BlackCab]

Agree, 20" is the way to go and the concavity is much better on these than the 19" versions.

Thanks for the words.

How does your wife find the sline springs?? Similar to stock and not noticeable or a bit hard?

[S4BlackCab]

She hasn't made a comment about them at all, so I'm taking that as a positive

From my perspective, there is a little bit more stiffness and rebound, but if you didn't know if had Sline OEM springs or hadn't driven the car with the allroad OEM springs you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Looks great. Where did you guys get the rims? I'm surprised that the stance looks good with S-line springs, figuring with my S-line avant should look good too. Always thought 20s were too much but you guys are giving me doubts :)

I picked up my rims from another member who just purchased an RS5 but didn't want the rims.

[Allroad!]

+1 any legit vendors out there who sell OEM rims? Going to be tough to get that lucky to find RS5 owner that wants to part with these.

[S4BlackCab]

I looked and looked, but couldn't find any legit vendors that would sell them for less than an arm and a leg.

Update:

Finally got coilovers (Bilstein PSS10s) and SPC Adjustable Control Arms last November, finally got around to snapping a proper pic
