Hopping back in to Audi with a RS5 SB
I'm excited to get back in to an Audi. I had a 2013 S6 that i had tuned and sold last year. I am going to go in to order one in a couple of days so am figuring out my build. Below is what i'm thinking and would love some input. Since i wouldn't get the car until January or February I'll also be searching for some wheels for some Hakka R2's for my midwest winters.

Wasn't positive on the honeycomb or diamond pattern seats with grey stitching. Was hoping to make a decision when i order based on seeing those seats in a car they have. As far as Dynamic Steering I am on the fence. Does it feel natural or over boosted? I'm kind of old school and sometimes don't like too much gadgetry.

There was a video posted in one of these threads that explains the difference between dynamic steering vs the normal steering. That video is what sold me. The turn radius is greatly reduced as well as a few other benefits that I can't remember.
I'll see if I can find that video.
I prefer the look of the honeycomb stitched leather over the diamond stitched Alcantara. I do however think the Alcantara will wear better over the years.

Thanks. I'll do a search for the video. As far as seating i may end up doing the Alcantara since i have 4 kids and i also think it may wear better. I'm hoping APR will have a tune early next year. This dealer is claiming MSRP so I may call another in the Chicago area to see what they say.

Dynamic steering is well worth it. Really predictable at higher speed, sudden quick movements. Prevents you from over correcting if in a panic situation. It’s so natural feeling at all speeds that I cannot imagine not driving that car without it.
Just my opinion - but at the price the RS comes in at, what’s the cost of dynamic steering to add in?
As always — YMMV

I’ll be looking for a set of 18” wheels to host some Nokian Snow Tyres next fall. Another member posted up these Hartmann Wheels and they look pretty good and as they are made for Audi, they do not require centering rings or different lug bolts. I cannot speak to their quality.
I was looking for Borbet wheels but i can’t find a US Ditributor or Dealer.

I'd be surprised if any 18" wheels would fit over those brakes. I was planning on 19"ers. I'll go as small as i can though. I barely got 19's on my S6.
