Anyone running this set up on their B8.5 S5? Would like to see some pics. Tried the search function and couldn't find any :((

Did you check the suspension thread? Pretty sure there's a few in there. Anyways I hear the drop is similar to the H&R OE sports.

I think this exact thread is happening on the S4 forum. I just ordered the B12 for my S5 for 650$ from ajusa. I'll post pics to the main thread after the install

I remember you came to me when I was selling my b12 pro kit. Right now since I am not able to sell it without losing too much $$$ I am considering keeping the kit for myself, but I'm not sure if the drop is right for me.
Please let me know when you post some pics. Thanks!

Oh yea! It may be better off that way with the warranty too. Ship date is March 17 so it's gonna be a while before I get them, install it, and wait for springs to settle. I plan on taking some measurements soon for all 4 corners as a baseline. It sucks buying things you aren't going to install right away because if the new price drops your doomed for a loss. Good luck in the meantime if you do try to sell it

Looks great man. How you liking it?

I thinks it's exactly what I wanted in a drop. Just enough drop to make a visual impact but not enough for normal people to notice. Same with the spacers.
Having said that there is so much pressure on this site to slam your car and put thick spacers on so I some times I think I could have gone lower/wider but for my daily driver it's perfect as an OEM plus.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been trying to decide whether to put mine on or go with h&r street coilovers. I think I'm going to stick with b12. I'm not excited to be so low I need to dodge speedbumps and parking blocks.

Then B12 is way to go! Doesn't suck on bumps or normal driving roads either but it is stiff enough that my wife complains lol

**delz05** · 05-22-2017 05:28 PM

Sorry... but I have to ask... She complains about it being too stiff??? (You opened the door!)

The B12 kit seems to be the best compromise for lowering...

**toastsauce** · 05-23-2017 05:22 AM

Haha yea I did this to myself. The B12 is a good compromise for sure. Plus it's a cheap option around $600 and my mechanic said the install went better than expected
