    Does anyone know if this is an OEM piece?

    X2 on that. I'd say it's time to get creative! :)

    Rear coilovers adjusters H and r

    They fit on the top on my KW's and I can't see H&R being any different. The spring sits on the standard rubber mount on the lower arm. It looks like you still have the standard rubber top bush fitted. My KW's don't use this and just have a large nylon washer under the adjuster platform...

    The wheels do look fine side on but they are are just too wide. Oh, I'd look out for that fence too if I were you!! - YouTube - Panama Cigars - Carlos Fandango Wheels BUB :beerchug:

    A4 quattro coilover reccomendations

    Go for it but think about the KW V1's they are stainless steel and fit and forget. I guess the Hicon's are adjustable for rebound only?

    So i fitted my Big wheels, COMMENTS WELCOME!!!!

    As I said the style of wheel suits the B6 well. Best bet would see if you can get two more fronts for the rear. The rears are just too wide and have far too little offset.

    A4 quattro coilover reccomendations

    It's always hard to show the drop in photos, but it is at least 15mm lower than S-Line. I must take some more pics of the car because it's now got 10mm spacers all round. TBH I hate it when people over lower the front, to me it upsets the balance of the car and just looks like the front...

    Wheel spacers?

    I've been running MTM 10mm spacers F&R for a few years now. Go for the 10's on the rear too it will just balance to look of the car so much :)

    What he said. The rears look dangerous if anything.

    A4 quattro coilover reccomendations

    They are about 15mm lower than S-Line suspension, so enough to take your sport 20mm+ lower. The rear will go 5mm or so lower and of course there is plenty left to balance the front. However KW state a maximum lowering (distance between hub centre and wheel arch) I am about at that limit (give or...

    3.0 Quattro Tyre Loading Confirmation

    What tyre size? My car came with 235/40R18 91Y P-Zero Rossos from new. However 95Y (Extra Load) are an option.

    A4 quattro coilover reccomendations

    I have been running KW V1's on my Avant for nearly 5 years. Fantastic quality and fit. Brilliant customer service. But above all, awesome ride and damping. My KW's have a better ride than the factory S-Line (1BV) quattro GmbH suspension. I had no major issues fitting them and no issues...

    coilover owners help

    I did mine on a 2 post ramp. I wouldn't jack one side and undo the subframe because of any twist in the body shell. Your best to put an axle stand under each rear jacking point and have to car on level ground to minimise any movement. Wheels off. Then have the jack just touching the subframe...

    IIRC the KW platforms have a 6mm hex in the middle but even with the wheels unloaded the spring is under too much tension to turn them. Dropping the subframe bolts was the only answer for me. They were still lightly loaded and tight after that! BUB :beerchug:

    ET33 on a B6?

    A slightly smaller offset (wider track) on the rear won't affect anything. Problems will occur if you change the tyre size dramatically front to rear. However there are plenty of Yanks running 'staggered' wheel set ups with quattro, the torsen centre diff will take up small differences.

    ET33 on a B6?

    You are quite right, the OE A4 8x18 Five Arm wheels are 43mm offset. An OE wheel is around £500 from Audi........ (They are NOT C5 RS6 wheels!! These are 19" in the UK and 9X19 35MM offset). I'm running MTM 10mm spacers (now ET33) and had to remove the arch liner screws at the top of the front...
