Hi, everyone, long time reader, first time Poster. I will be having my calipers powdercoated, and im having trouble finding the PN for the S8 anti rattle clips. I do know that they can be bought as a separate part, and can be used with 04 model year calipers. I've seen other members on other forums with this mod, any help would be appreciated.
PS: my car is a 2004L, VagCom Lowered, Magnaflow exhaust (sounds real nice and stealthy), running 22x10.5 rear, 22x9 front, with Nitto Invos, and a "ebay" lip spoiler that was painted to match.. |
Clean looking ride. What offset did you go with on the wheels. Aside from vag lowering did you do anything else to the suspension. How is the ride with the 22s any rubbing?

Car looks nice, any way for you to post a better pic of that rear lip, I was thinking of getting one of those on my ride. What's the setup on that exhaust, just mufflers? Thanks

As far as the Magnaflow's I kept all the stock piping and just swapped out the mufflers. It gives the exhaust a much better tone. Nothing too loud. Sounds real nice if you step on it. And no loud drone at hwy speeds. |
Don't want to rain on your parade. This is my opinion only; don't take offense but I think your rims look a bit ridiculous placed on an A8. They may look at home on a Lincoln LS or an escalade but they are like a 5'8 man with size 14 shoes...

How is the ride quality with them? I would never run them in Michigan, but was on the border of getting 20" for the months without snow. Did you have to raise the car at all or do you just have it running in "comfort" mode to have it raised so it doesn't rub?

I don't like how it looks, but that's not important. That's only meter of taste. A bit more important are facts that wider rear tires on a nose heavy car just improves under steering, that there is difference between front and rear diameter what makes mid differential to work overtime and that's one with limited slip, that they are quite larger than OEM what makes speedometer inaccurate and combined with larger rims kills performance and finally 30's profile kills ride quality.
