Doing anything got put on hold I messed up one of my tires so I'm putting the stockers on tomorrow... Have never seen my car with stock rims and tires before. I still gotta but some rings for the rear then I will keep this thread updated. Whats are lowering coils? You can by the coils and adjust? How do these work is it similar to buying say lowering springs and putting them on your stock shock?

The only thing I don't like about the paint is the metal flake... Tommy I know what you mean now. Yeah I wanna lower the car really bad but I'd like to get coilovers. My *** drags almosy everyday as I pull into my drive way as it is . I'll have to post a couple of pics now that I will be putting my stock wheels on. This will give me a chance to repaint the ones I have on there. It's gonna look like a 4X4 with those 16's on.

Put my oem wheels on yesterday because I f'd a tire up looks kind of weird to me as gaudy as the other rims might be to some people I think this looks okay but not quite right As soon as im not lazy im going to repaint the 18's satin black but leave the silver lip. Well heres the pics.

No more ugly *** side exit exhaust Yuck!

thats the very first A4 ive seen that actually looks better without front rings. normally i think it makes the car look dumb but it fits well with that color blue and those headlights.

i would be interested to see where the exhaust pipes were routed under the car for the side exhaust. im sure it would have gotten banged up pretty good if you tried to lower the car at all.
