Pic of B5 lowered over 18's wanted

[Oranoco]

Can anybody post a pic up of their B5 lowered about 40mm over a set of 18's. Want to guage what mine will look like as I plan to go shopping a fortnight today for my new rims

 

[Randomjim]

This is my se when it was lowered 45mm front and 35mm rear.

No idea how much lower it is, it's much lower than it was when i had it. The joys of coilovers i guess

Some pics of a long departed S4 on coilovers and 18" BBS CH`s

Not sure how low, but low enough for me...

H&R Coilovers 30mm lower....

 

[Bong Water]

Wondered what a B5 looked like with RS6's didnt think it would suit but it does look very well on the chunkier S4 B)

duane that looks more like 50mm than 30mm, quite low.
will post a pic of my b5 avant on (kerbed!) rs6's later

 

[Biglockie]

Mine sits on RS6's but they are 19's

Definately 30mm. Thats what coilovers come as standard out the box. Then if you want to adjust them you can go as low as you like up to 60-70mm i think?.....

My cars only on a drop kerb so no major lean/tilt or nothing to make it look lower. It looks as it is when it's on a perfectly flat piece of road.....Here's a couple more pics from the other side before i got my tints etc......

thats a nice motor... i got offered some of those wheels but they were curbed to ****. wish i took em now !!

Doh!

 

[Bong Water]

Love it, awesome clean car sits perfect not to low, can I ask if the wheels are reps and if so where you got them and how are they holding up? Cheers

 

[Biglockie]

a selection of pics some of just after they were painted

OEM RS6'S in our ET are not easy to come by.. I wasted 6 months looking for mine, almost spent £1000 on a new set of 4 from germany then I found a set of 5 with Pzeros all round for £450!! bargain!
they have been kerbed a bit much since I owned them!

 

[Bong Water]

How come you spent so long looking for OEM instead of decent reps?

The dark on yellow looks spot on BTW

 

[Biglockie]

Cheers fella.

Lowered 40 front, 45 rear on 18s

Nice one mate, yes the wheels are reps, i got them off ebay about 3 years ago and they are holding up well....I've got a slight scuff on 1 and a couple stone chips on the others, so not too bad at all for how long i've been rolling on them.:icon_thumright:

 

[duane]

@ Biglockie....

Like the colour of your wheels mate Very nice......I know they look black, but what is the actual colour?

 

[Oranoco]

Well that's solved my choice of rim as well now then. I wasn't sure whether to take the chance on the RS6's. Now I know I want them.

Sorted a price on a set of 18's with Conti 225/40/18's for £675

Well spotted Floyd :busted_cop:...lol....The photo's i've put up are old ones, thats not the only place that had been painted this was how it was when i bought it 4 years ago.....Anyway i should get my car back end of this week after having a full respray except the roof. Same colour all over this time,lol. I'm gonna post some new pics up when i get it back as i've had the rear bumper colour coded and the bottom of my wing mirrors....does look really well now :icon_thumright:

 

[floyd 1.8 turbo]

They should have blended the colour into the rear door..naughty naughty people!!
Look forward to seeing some pics of it

Mine on 18's with OEM sports setup which I believe is 30 to 40mm of a drop?

 

[AUDI TURBO]

GOD i want new alloys mine are shafted that are on at mo. awful 10 spokeaudi wheels. me want new ines to show off my new fancy disks and make my suspension stand out

 

[Siena]

My car's a 2,6L Quattro Sport.

It was lower than regular / SE models before I replaced the suspension.
OEM Sport package lowers the car 20mm over regular / SE models.

@ Biglockie....

They area Anthracite colour from hyundia mixed with some blac to darken it and mixed with Subaru STI black the one with the blue flakes in it , very one off colour.

Is that all? Dunno if mine could go any lower, theres only 100mm from the road to the underside, I struggle to get a trolly jack under it.

 

[Randomjim]

I have to get someone to lift the front arch if i wanna get a jack under it. Lol.
