Default Pictures 2013 lowered with Bielstein PSS10's

Here are a few snaps of my car lowered on Bielstein PSS10 coilovers. I also installed SPC adj. arms in order to get this car to align as there is no camber adjustment with factory fixed arms. I may ago a tad lower in the front.

WOW! That's sharp!

Is there tire rub when you put passengers in?

I measured the height and the front is 1/4" lower than the back.Where it's set now 0 rubbing and no issues in and out of driveways. I parked on the street yesterday behind a car that was a clone to mine. Bone stock with 18" rims. When my wife and I came out she looked at the unmodified car and said " that car looks terrible" anyway......

Any compliment from the wife, backhanded or not, is a good thing. They often don't get the techie tweaks we do.

... not saying your wife intended any backhanded-ness, but I am curious if she at least raised an eyebrow when you took an expensive new car and spend even MORE money on it for rime.


PS Car looks nice... too bad I am too practical to lower mine.

I didnt cost too much as the AWE and Bilsteins came off my prior 2010 S4. Also as I use my car for business and car repairs/ maintenance is tax deductible. So I get back at least 40% on the following years tax return. I keep saying next car I get I won't be modifying it. Well maybe just a tint. This car is done for now.

Since a picture (and video) are usually worth 1000 words, here is an example of what adjustable control arms are for the S4:

Looks good. I'd raise the rear a little though. Looks like the back is sagging or your are permanantly carrying people in back.
