Does anyone have an Avant with some work done to it, and have some pics? I'm buying a B6 Avant 1.8T in a couple weeks, and I'd love to see how they can look with some nice rims and lowered suspension.

Sweet, thanks guys! The avant.com link doesn't work, however.

Long live house music!

 

You can click my signature picture to see what can be done to an Avant.

But before you do understand that I take no responsibility for what happens to your bank account when you see the possibilities.

 

Wow, that's quite a bit of work. How would you compare the Azenis (615's or 215's?) to the RA-1's? I had RA-1's on my old car (track AND street tire...no tire has any business with that much capability on the street LOL), but I was looking into the Azenis for the Avant.

Is that what those things on the bottom of the doors are called...door blades? If so, where do you get them? Those coilovers are sick; but I don't think I have it in the budget with a baby on the way. Is there a lowering spring that can be used with the stock dampers without affecting the fantastic balance of the stock car with Sport package?

 

I'd consider the RA-1 as a track tire that can see a bit of rain.

The Azenis 615 is a tire I would use on the street, autocross or in wet conditions. They have a pretty firm sidewall so the ride might be a bit hrarsh for some people.

Those things are called S4 door blades and you can get them from the dealership or various online shops.

I had H&R springs with Bilstein shocks and that combination is great for city based driving but push it any harder than that and the car nose dives quite a bit. While you might not see/feel it from the inside it is quite obvious from the outside. When I saw pictures of my Avant cornering on the track I swapped them out soon after that.
