I believe the key phrase is 'decked'?

[2thumbs]

As some may know I bought a V6 Audi A4 at the arse end of last year.

Was umming and ahhing about hitting it with the lowering stick. After I had everything sorted mechanical wise to a point where I was happy I decided to make a cheeky offer on some Raceland coils.

Arrived on Wednesday, 19 hours from Brussels to Devon, nay bad!

Fitted them yesterday with the help of a good friend and his workshop.

The front's about -120mm, back's about 80mm. Just about managed to get out of the farm lane, but when we got to the more smooth country lanes, the plastic undertray was beaching on the camber of the road. Had to rip it off.

Decided that it needed raising after whilst overtaking some mopeds on the main road the bottom of the bumper was kissing cats eyes.

so:

Now it sits like this:

Hope you've got a badass gangsta' lean

 

[Dweeb]

your swag makes me mad!
dope whip!

 

[2thumbs]

They see me rollin' etc.

It's a bit of a nightmare to drive at the moment. Reminiscent of a bouncy castle full of kids and I'll probably get pulled soon under suspicion of drink driving for avoiding potholes.

 

[Dweeb]

ah man i know what you mean! bouncy as 'eck eh!

 

[2thumbs]

Very, but then I've only done 30 or so miles on the coils. They should settle in soon.

It looks weird being totally standard bar the drop. Doesn't look right.

With some better wheels and some more poke it'd be decent though.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Fuckin tart is all im sayin

 

[Jcs]

I did not realize you were on here mr thumbs. Will you be getting new alloys?

 

[Englebert]

Really needs different wheels. Looks like a broken standard car ATM!

Oh hai x.

I onced owned a Clio back in the day. It got much love on here lol.

A mate of mine has some Merc AMG 17" 5 spokes on his van that he wants shot of. Was gonna try them on it.

[Whiskerz16v]

om nom nom those wheels are sexy!

 

[2thumbs]

I hai thar update!

I raised it last week before I fit some kind under side protection and drop it further, so it currently looks like this, it's only slight but enough to now be practical on local roads.

These arrived:

So from this:

To this:

My new awesome friend: (built not bought y0)

De-badged the arse, from this:

To this:

 

[j26]

i think bbs th wheels would look nice on that

 

[2thumbs]

Typo? They're CH's.

But I agree! They're a popular choice of B5 S4's.

 

[Dweeb]

Looks good man. Maybe you should tint the rear lights so they are solid red? And lose that ghey numberplate surround. Those merc wheels look banging!

 

[Dan29]

Nice & low. The Merc wheels would look good...

 

[HartZ]

Thats pretty lol, those wheels look the nuts

 

[Jason_E]

Always wanted an A4 this shape! They look good with the right wheels.

 

[Laura]

IM CLEARLY GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE HELPERS OUT MINE... CHEERS FOR MAKING MORE WORK FOR ME

 

[2thumbs]

No need to shout. Isn't my fault you were silly and didn't take them off before fitting them lol.

I was thinking about taking the bump stops off as well. Decided I'd let the coils bed in for a month or two before I went down that route though.

 

[Laura]

i dont have bump stops on mine.. but if i take the helpers out ill put some in just to soften the rise a lil bit as ill never get low enough to go to the bottom without the helpers without A) hitting the gorund and 2) neding to notch the chasis

 

[2thumbs]

Yeah true. I'm surprised my drive shafts didn't hit the chassis when we first fitted the suspension. Never checked the clearance though, could have been a couple mm for all I know.

 

[_Tom]

Im another running helper-less...prob gives youi an extra 20mm to play with.

 

[j26]

Typo? They're CH's.

cheers for correcting :approve:

 

[2thumbs]

Im another running helper-less...prob gives youi an extra 20mm to play with.

Do not want... Oh wait!

Do not have.

When I first fitted them on the car it must have been dropped about 120mm and the coils still had about 45mm of thread left on them.

 

[2thumbs]

Threw a bucket of water over it and deep cleaned the wheels a couple days ago.

Also fitted some £5 eGay special bulbs for main beam. Was expecting them to be piss poor, but they actually match the HID's great.

 

[Djw Dave]

looks good mate.
