Default The latest toy...

I had to have it... [8D]

Dumped the 04' Sliver Tip car. I've never seen a green S4 before. This one's a 6MT.... Yummy.

Springs and sway bars next. Needs to sit lower.

Hope when you say "needs springs" you mean it either has aftermarket struts or will get some...right?

Personally not feeling those wheels, I'd go with a nice staggered set (since it actually makes some sense to employ staggered setups on TorSen cars).

The rim's colors aren't bad I like gunmetal with a polished lip. Not too sure on the spoke pattern that's a little iffy. The problem here is the color of the car with the rims. I'm not a fan of that it just clashes. NICE CAR THO!

Yeah... The rims need to go. They looked good on the silver S4 before this one, but the rims that were on this car where the Avus S4 actory wheels and they were chewed to sh*t. I want to go to 19"s.

I meant lowering springs and new strut inserts. I'm going with H&R springs, Hotchkis hollow sways and Bilstien HDs. I just want to drop it 1.2" in the front and 1" in the rear. No need to slam it. I like being able to get it aligned without having to dump a Kmac kit into it (although the half-Kmac I did on my TT works great.)

This is one of the wheels I'm considering for it.

I might just take those rims for my Avant. If you ever sell let me know.

I ended up ordering new suspension and wheels today. I got the H&R lowering springs (1.2" drop up front, 1" drop rear) and Hotchkis tubular sway bars 35mm front & 24mm rear. I also got Koni Sport dampeners for all four corners and ASA JH8's in a 19" x 8.5" 35mm size.

Car goes into the shop next Thursday to do the suspension. I can't wait.
