You just helped me pull the trigger on 18s and lowering springs. Looks sharp, I take it you did the spring install yourself, how was that?

 

pinch bolt was a bitch and i did all 4 springs the same day so my hands got tired with the spring compressors i rented from advanced auto. after finishing the back springs i went ahead and used an electric drill with a 19mm socket attachment and as long as you go very slow and compress both sides of the spring compressor its not a hard job. just dont rush it or you could wind up in the hospital. compressed springs store ALOT of energy you dont want to mess around with. The only other problem i had was with the front shocks you either need a deep offset crows feet 18mm wrench or i used a 18mm socket with vice grips to hold it so i could stick a 6mm allen inside of it to hold the shock while i turned the bolt. i wouldnt say that its hard its just very time consuming and you will get very tired if you do it all in the same day. at the end of the day when i was doing the fronts i had a hard time holding up the shock assembly. All that considered i finished all 4 springs and painted my lowers all in the same day. about 10 hours of work. Oh and audizine classifieds has b6 s4 18" avus's for CHEAP.

 

any reason you removed that pinch bolt?
is your front passenger tire on backwards?
I still don't get why people don't mask off those lines in the valence to match the lines separating the lower grilles.. car looks pretty clean though, could be lower

 

removing the pinch bolt made it easier to take off the strut and the tires are nitto neogens they are not directional i have gotten that question alot. plus with the pinch bolt out replacing all 4 wheel bearings wont suck this weekend since everything is coated in antisieze. not quite as low as you but my driveway wont permit me to go that low.

 

hm I was able to take everything out easily without touching that bolt. my driveway didn't like me being that low either
unrelated. n75 race valve, worth it?

 

totally worth it. it costs less than an oem n75 valve and increases boost. im dbw so i had to do a diode mod to get it to not throw the overboost code though.

 

Hey, I know you got a tight budget, but stop by if you ever have the chance (were in Baltimore), and check for dyno days when we have them. Free stuff is always good
