I'm pretty sure all Audi wheels are interchangeable except early TT wheels cause those were 5x100.

I can't help but notice that no one talked about how the suspension mod affected the handling. I'm looking into getting an A4 right now. I've been doing a few hours of lurking on here, and I'm really interested in the power mods, but afraid that I'm going to give up the good handling I'm used to. I currently have a 1984 Porsche 944. Only 150hp, so the power bump with these cars sounds great to me, but how good can you get them to corner?

Perhaps people could also post up how the suspension mods affected the handling, and where they think a certain setup could improve. I would expect with the forward weight bias that stiffer springs in the rear would balance out the load the tires experience. And thats probably the setup I would go for. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Does anyone know how well 245/40/r17s will fit? I'm on neuspeed sport springs with the 17s from the b6 a4.

Default newbie with my 96 b5 2.8 5v QM suspension problems!!!!

Whats up fellas, well i have the S4 complete suspension sitting in my tool box, i need some pointers on installing them. Also i was wondering on the ride height it would give me, i thought about getting a set of H&R for about 300$ but i cant really decide. I heard the s4 suspension would give me a better ride. So if anybody has any ideas or info it would be appreciated, thanks.
