    Coilovers, Exhaust, other mods?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,
    I want to know what is the best for the best price(lowest) for coilovers, I want to know personally experiences like if you scrap, how bad the ride is and if it is worth it.

    For exhaust i want something loud with a V8 tone, ordered Armytrix should be here soon but heard one in person yesterday and not what i want exactly. So I would love you guys recommendations on something with a V8 tone, no drone, and is not to loud when you are just cruising and sounds amazing!

    Also what other mods do you guys suggest doing to my B8.5 S4, thanks guys really appreciate all feedback!!

    I don't do any highway driving and that's where the drone normally arises. I don't have AWE downpipes either and am happy with the sound. Mellow when it needs to be and balls out when on it. Might sound like a gtr a bit.

    Check out the clip I made last year with the AWE Touring with OEM DP. It sounds great IMO. Not obnoxious and loud enough when you floor it.

    well these cars will never sound like v8's but the milltek does the best job of simulating that IMO.

    Do some searching on here for the coilovers... Judging by your post, some H&R street coilovers will suffice for your needs. I've had them for over a year now and they've been great. Good option if you're after a lowered look with some height adjustability.

    Nice vid! The one thing I truly missed from my B8.5 S5 was the sound of that exhaust. Can't wait to throw it on my S4

    AWE Touring is the best exhaust in my opinion with resonated downpipes.

    Is your exhaust tip melted on 1 side or is that the reflection from the exhaust tip next to it??
    how you keep it so shiny?!

    KW V3s. Yes, the ride is somewhat harsh. Coilovers really are not a drop in because adjustable upper control arms will be needed. Sway bars and drop links are really also needed to reach the potential of the coilovers. At that point might as well add the alu kreuz DTS. After driving this setup the stock setup seems pretty mushy. The least expensive way to get started is the sway bars and DTS. That should help quite a bit.
