Yep there actually called celebration rims but they look very similar to rs4s. If you don't got color coded springs its possible they are aftermarket. Red shocks indicate sport suspension.

LOL, I didnt buy it with 30k, I bought it new, I really don't drive it, I have 2 other Explorers as daily drivers. As of today I have 30,800miles,

Its still complete stock, but its time to replace shocks. I called Audi dealer today and DAMM....$300ea fronts/ $499ea rears. thats just under $1600 just for parts.

Coilover Kit for Audi A4 B5 Quattro



Since your audi has been sitting for the past decade, maybe you haven't learned that the dealership people are ********. Try to only go to the dealership unless you absolutely have too! $1600 for stock suspension parts is straight up lunacy. For that much money you could buy top of the line after market springs and shocks. The link above is a coilover kit from raceland that just came out. Few people have tired but have good reviews so far. You don't NEED to lower it with the coilovers, most people believe in the set it and forget school of thought with suspension.

Check fortitude Fourtitude.com - Audi Classifieds

Lots of classified for serious audi enthusiasts that would put a big turbo kit on anything.

Yea, I have forgotten about dealers prices. My car just came out of my extended warranty, Its been covered for the last 10yrs. So i really haven't been had any big money repairs out of my pocket.

Coils would be really way more then i need. Although the idea of using S4 coils and shocks to lower the car just an inch has peaked my interest. I have had slammed cars b4, and living in a city, is a big reason I never lowered it. And I am really liking the A8 breaks upgrade (really think im going to invest in it). If there is 1 think I hate on A4, its the breaks and the nasty rust and scaling after just a few hours of rain,

I plan on doing a bunch of stuff on the car to really beef it up, but try to keep the car as stock looking as possible. One other thing I want to add is S4 side skirts and maybe a new exhaust.
