So what is the chasis difference between the mid to late 90's audi a4's and the new(er) ones.? It seems that the newer ones have larger wheel wells and that they sit a little lower. Is this true ?

Example:

1997: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6003

If I am correct ( forgive the n00b-ness), then could you give the 97(ish) a newer/lower look ?

thanks

You're talking about the B5 vs the B6 lines.

There were a lot of changes overall, but the suspension heights are dependent on what suspension options were ordered with each specific car. The B5 can be lowered and, in my opinion, looks better than a lowered B6.

 

I take it that you mean the 90's body is the b5 and the newer the b6 ?

anyhew, could you possibly help me find a picture of a lowered b5 body style ?

thanks alot

Vito

You could have done this yourself; I used google images "audi A4".

 

i know, I tried using gewgle, but i didn't know by eye what the difference between a b6 and a lowered b5

thanks anyways

 

No worries bro.

Those are all lowered B5 A4's. The race cars are severely lowered.

 

Ok, so you can lower teh b5 and be happy, but is there any body kit that u can get to get the larger wheel wells ?

thanks again

 

There is only one kit: The RS4 wide body kit from Germany. It is has an outrageous price tag.

You're better off clipping the wheel well liner and having the fenders rolled. Many heavy duty Audi owners who do radical mods have done this with great success. It's not as severe as it sounds - in fact it's easier overall than to have the widebody kit installed.
