*** Official B8 A5/S5/RS5 Suspension Setup Gallery ***

[Mops@Nemesis]

I was hoping we could start a thread where members who have modded their suspensions could post their rides and respective specs in one thread. This way, those of us looking for the right setup can find everything in one place.

If possible, please provide the following information:

-Spring or Coilover/Brand/Style name
-Front Drop in inches
-Rear Drop in inches
-Wheel size
-Tire specs
-PICS! (Before pics would be nice as well)
Please keep chatter to a minimum

1st stage: H&R sport springs


2nd stage: H&r oe springs


3rd stage: bc racing coilovers

[BlkS5]

Before


Phase 1 - HR OE Spings over ADS 1.25"
and this is why you need spacers



Phase 2 - Megan Racing Adjustable Coil Overs no ADS 1.5"




Phase 3 - KW Adustable Coils over ADS 1.25" (went back up a litlle)
By far the best ride!

[gekko81]

Hi
On the phase 1 image, are the springs H&R OE Sport Spring 29061-1 (1" and 1") or H&R Sport spring 29059-1 (1,3" and 1,25") ?
I will pick up my new wheels next week, and will also need to lower my ride, but don't know which to choose.
My ride is A5 3.0 TDI (no s-line).
New wheels: Vertini Concave 245/30-20, 8,5 " front and 295/25-20, 10" rear. (Hankook tires)
Or is 275/30-20, 10" front and rear a better option?

Before and after images to come...

Speeder, love the stance, no issues driving in the city? My underground garage is on like a 45 degree angle, can't imagine trying to navigate in and out once lowered...so i'll just stare at everyone's your cars sittin' right while mine is cruising 4x4 style!

[NYSpeedRacer]

^ gotta find a new garage. Lol

And yes, at my current height I have absolutely no issues in the city. It's not as low as I originally wanted, but I till have my sanity.

I park in a garage as well, but thankfully the decline/incline isn't that bad.

Would love to get your thoughts on the PSS10! I like my KW V1s but I think in the future I am going to get some adjustable ones. The ride is just a bit too harsh for daily driving.

[Mops@Nemesis]

H&R coilover kit. Love them. Ride is much better than the H&R oe spring.

[$teady$upreme]

Wow! love the wheel tire combo
