How cheap are they? Because you can get a set of RS4 reps on ebay for a pretty good price and I like the RS4 look so much more than that.

ummmm, well... personally they are not my favorite set I've seen. I mean I also don't think black wheels on a dark blue car is gonna look too good but ya never know. I'd P-chop 'em and then make the decision, at the end of the day, it's what makes you happy that matters

I know there's probably more threads on this, and that I'm hyjacking this thread, but if you lower a car it's more than just the springs right?... Becuase I want to lower mine after the wheel upgrade, and someone said you need to adjust camber, and mabye new shocks if you're out of their travel range.... etc... Is this all true, or can I just be a cheep as and buy only new springs?

I imagine they'd look something like this in Silver... What do you guys think about Tien springs?

well Tien is a very repectable company so you would probably get a quality product from them and they probably would be tuned decently well for the application.



and to TexasPete

when lowering your car greater then to the sport suspension height, I would recommend you get new sport shocks because most likely you will kill the stock shocks pretty quick. Also Audi's can't adjust camber so you just have to live with the negative camber, and increased tire wear

not that I am aware of, the only thing you can do is equal the camber by shifting the subframe.
