    s-line suspension

    The thing is, I have seen people with for example, the HR Sport springs (not full coil over kit) which quote a 33mm drop over standard, and the tyres are practically in the arch. I have 1BV and have about an inch or so space so there is little chance the HR Sports are only 3mm different to...

    s-line suspension

    sorry for the delay. mine is indeed 1bv. so does that mean when i look at lowering springs then i compare their quoted drop over standard? so technically aftermarket springs that quote -30mm actually won't change mine at all?

    s-line suspension

    I have SLine and its not harsh in any way. Suspension is very objective. I payed over 1k on KW Inox full suspension and anti roll bars on my old cupra and it ruined it with a horrid ride yet some people swear by it. very hard to say whats better as everyone is different. Ex lotus driver so my...

    My new red LEDs

    Thanks. It just seemed odd having the whole interior lighting theme red, then some white LEDs in the footwells. Now there's continuity. But as an extra its still pretty poor. The ones in the door handles are invisible, to the point they look faulty

    Pic request: 19" aftermarket wheels with non aftermarket suspension

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I did do this and its okay, I wonderd if the different offset of some wheels (e.g BBS/Caractere) would change things. To be honest the more i look at it the 18s are ok :) famous last words

    Pic request: 19" aftermarket wheels with non aftermarket suspension

    As above, ideally S-line A5 (not S5 or RS5) thus on Sline springs. I have this option but it sits very high for some reason. Dont know if its because its on 18s and so 19s would indeed cut some arch gap - any advice on that welcome. Alternatively, if I have to drop it on springs to sort out any...

    Light pack - LED bulbs

    Does anyone know the specs of the interior LED bulbs, specifically for the extra light pack (under seat and footwell) They are white and dont light anything up properly so want to make them red to match the rest of the interior since they are largely.....well......dim

    Newbie - A5 on the way...

    ...and the glorious day finally came yesterday, ready for the weekend. Really impressed with it. MMI plus is brilliant and the s line with daytona is really great. Didn't expect the matt silver rear valance. I had a fear the 18s might look small in the arches and they do a little; fine for now...

    Springs & Suspension advice

    After searching forum and brochure (do correct me if I'm wrong): Sport suspension = stiffer springs (-??mm) S Line suspension = standard shocks but -10mm/-20mm springs over stock ride height S Sports suspension (standard on S5 and not available on std models) = different shocks and spring...

    Pic request - S Line suspension on 18"s

    Hi All As the title says. As I understand it the "sports" suspension is -20mm and the "s-line" -30mm correct? A4 Saloon if possible Having searched the subject it seems the general advice is to go for "s-line" as its more progressive than the somewhat stiffer "sports" setup - any further...

    The "Rimz" Thread ** Look here before requesting pics of specific wheels**

    yeah it does now i look again. tbh i saw an ibis with stock wheels and it wasnt that bad. in cyprus the roads are shonk so 19s are not first choice and if i can stay on 18s i will - hence the about face to stock rims. losing the roof rails was deffo a good move in improving the look
