Default finally lowered.....now for some new wheels

so after a little mishap involving speed and an island divider, my car is finally back in form. unfortunately, one S4 CH style wheel didn't survive so i'm back to the stock 17s. a bent strut led me to upgrade to STaSIS streetsports. it took about 10 hours over the course of a week to get the height dialed in.

biggest and most immediate difference is during hard braking or acceleratiion....no more diving or squating. body roll has decreased alot. ride is still comfortable, but stiffer than stock sport and i do feel more imperfections in the road.

esp light comes on a lot less often and the car feels more planted.

What kind of wheels are you looking at? And in what color?

Nice. I can't wait for my Koni Coilovers.

You need to get the front side markers blacked out or smoked.

Cheers!

My vote for Ultaleggera , better offset for A3, lighter, and less money than the BBS. Better looking IMHO - no mistaking it for a refugee from either a Honda Civic or Escalade convention.
