Things you shouldn't do to your B8

[Audi 4 Life]

We had one of these in B6 section and I think it would be a good addition to b8 section to help keep the mods at least somewhat tasteful.

I'll start things off, first off IMO you should never install body kit

Don't buy a b8 and immediately ask what the cheapest way to lower it is.

and Race belts... you put the same URL as the splitter.

[a4_matt]

Also... don't buy a B8 and then start a GoFundMe when you get a repair bill!!!

@pedalresponce ppl will get it (@b6Hate4 , @The Infiltrator , @blbroo , etc...)

Seriously!

Don't buy a Oil Catch-Can. They don't really serve a purpose, for these cars naturally consume oil. (In stock form)

[dean.mohr]

Probably not the answer you were expecting, but don't pull all the way into parking spots that have curbs or parking chalks. You'll scrape your bumper every.single.time.

The best part is that the guy started another thread after fixing his DSG and referred to himself as "the guy who started the gofundme". +1 to him for the humility at this point.

Don't reuse stretch bolts. They'll go back in fine, but next time you have to take them out you'll have a couple super fun hours of drilling ahead of you when the head snaps off.

[ccoaston]

Don't take your car to Midas for anything!!! Just spend the money to get it done right or DIY

Excuse me sir. I disagree.

Add S or RS badges when you have an A

But he has a tow hook so doesn't that make it a race car?

Not sure if serious?

Bruh, oil catch cans were around serving a very important purpose long before Audi botched a set of piston rings. My 034 catch can keeps my oil OUT of my intercoooler. An intercooler internally coated in oil loses so much efficiency it would make your head spin.

I always see tow hooks on street cars as "look at me I break down a lot!"

Don't have any experience with the 034. I had the ECS and it did nothing for the car.

[SleeperCar]

oooo ill play this game!

1. always, always, always figure out stance before wheels. 19''-20'' wheels look terrible on stock suspension.....
2. dont buy springs....just get coilovers (i was guilty of this)
3. dont cheap out and skip the alignment after you put lower suspension on your car...it will be a disaster down the road
4. Dont vape, its stupid and dont be a scene kid
5. dont over carbon fiber your car...its not tasteful
6. dont install a spoiler that is bigger than just a lip
7. dont overfill your oil by using an extractor, thinking you took 5 Quarts out, and then put 5 new quarts in....it will be overfilled
8. dont buy any gas less than 93...its just better octane overall
9. dont buy super cheap tires made by a company you never heard of....as the saying goes, "buy nice or buy twice"
10. Dont buy aftermarket wheels that arent certified JWL or TUV
11. Dont ignore service intervals
12. Dont add additional LED strips to the car, its not tasteful
13. Dont buy anything cosmetic from advance auto parts or Autozone...
14. Dont put an RS4 grille on without the audi rings, it just doesnt look right
15. Dont forget to dip/paint your crashbar when installing a RS4 grille
16. Dont overuse plastidip...it can look tacky (no pun intended)
17. Dont use the same towel/sponge from the bottom of your car to the top
18. Dont use anything other than the 2 bucket method when washing your car
19. Dont ignore the search function in the audizine forums, it is your friend
20. Dont ignore a fellow enthusiast if you see another audi on the road that is tastefully modded. Just a simple nod or wave.... it makes that persons day, and vice versa
21. Dont buy a turbo inlet hose expecting any performance, its strictly to represent your favorite tuner and an excuse to mod another part of your engine bay (im guilty but i never expected performance gains)
22. Dont post info/photos on the forums asking for opinions and then get upset when someone disagrees with you.
23. Dont ignore torque specs, they are important, and the specs are there for a reason
24. Dont buy ground effects kits, these arent JDM cars
25. Dont buy stickers for your car that include words like "hella" or "Dope" or "flush" or "stance" or "dropped" or "dapper".
26. Dont do any trim or console removal without non marring tools, they are worth the investment
27. If buying any used parts from another member, dont forget to check their user history on this forum. If they are parting out, and have only been a member for 2 days, that is a red flag. be careful
28. Dont post that you are thinking of buying a B8 or a BMW, obviously you are getting biased opinions on a Audi dedicated forum
29. When it snows/icing, dont forget to put your wipers in service mode, and pull them off the glass, it helps later on

I've had springs since I bought it in 2010, still going strong with just the right ride height.

But added adjustability makes more sense

034 Kit in action. Definitely works.

[The Infiltrator]

If you want to adjust it sure, but most will set it to where the spring would be in the first place and never touch it again. Worked out for me and many other so it's whatever you want.

No spring goes as low as I wanted... I guess personal preference, but I know a lot of people who got springs (like I did) and had 1 of two problems (1. Buy new shocks, 2. Wanted to go lower but couldn't)

Well that goes with lowering a car... you need new shocks! Just my preference and nothing against coils at all, that's it.

all good, i get your points

Don't make the mistake of thinking your going to turn this car into a race-car or super-car eater, its a sports luxury sedan. Love it for what it is and don't be mad if you get beaten by a sports car.
