Yes. You are right. That's I like it leveled.

By the way, that adaptation procedure is as stupid as it gets. It requires measured value and than it doesn't except it. Than you put some fake value and it takes it. Something is very wrong there. And why would we need adaptation at all. It is just another level setting. It should go up or down for so many millimeters an that's it. Adaptation should be there for leveling.

 

I went yet a different direction. I thought the rear fender gap looked pretty bad too. But I ended up trying to even up the spacing around the top and sides in the back and then get close to that gap (height) result up front. Net, I ended up w/ somewhat more drop in the back than the front as I recall. I really didn't want to push the nose down too much more anyway w/ real world parking stops, curbs, etc. and angling it more could make it a bit worse with the long front overhang that's classic Audi. The end result was closer to level as Mishar describes.

With the 20" wheels and the slightly larger tire diameter, I probably wasn't fighting quite as much gap as the tire sizing on the 18's and 19' either. When I go to dynamic mode and with the spacers (like yours as I recall), I get the hunkered down look overall while in the lesser modes I have everyday clearance to minimize front end boo-boos.

Meanwhile, as I recall what you did is also the speed approved way. It's called "rake" as I remember, and some car co's used to advertise it even. I think the aerodynamic studies support pushing the front end down while holding the back higher, but it's been a long time since I last saw anything technical about it. I continue to debate on mine though--it has a little rake still but looks pretty flat; w/ the black paint it maybe conveys a bit to much "limo" (as in old time Lincoln or Caddy) to me, and if "old time" = old, then not a look to which I'm aspiring!

 

Hi, i´m new here. Mine A8 is lowered by VAG-COM, -25mm front and -20mm rear.

 

Looks nice, are those S8 exhausts?

 

Thanks, actually those are S5 exhausts. They are quite similar, those tailpipes are a bit smaller diameter than S8.

 

Nice wheels. Even nicer photos. Professional? Sergei?

 

Thanks, man. And yes, Sergei is a professional photographer. Pictures that i took myself seemed too lame so i figured i need some nicer ones. Sergei is quite famous car enthusiast and photographer over here http://sergeizjuganov.com/automotive.html

 

Looks very nice! Well done.

Looks like you've done the tail light and rear valence conversion?

Also, when you say S5 exhaust, do you mean just the tips or have you adapted the system?

Cheers

 

Thank you.
Tail lights were like a love at first sight to me - i just knew i must have those lights.
I've just managed to get my hands on S5 OEM cat-back exhausts, since the S5 guy installed Millteks on his car.
Rear bumper is therefore from S8.



Next thing in my to-do list is front conversion, i like the S8 look.

 

Gees, I wish we had access to those sorts of parts here in Aust. Buying parts from dealer is prohibitively expensive when compared to what I hear you guys get. There's no second hand market here either as the A8 is an absolute minority in terms of sales volumes, let alone S8 or W12!

Front end would finish it off nicely. Congrats once again.

Cheers
