Default A couple new goodies.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/22927/2.1.jpg"></center><p>
I had my H&amp;R coilovers installed at 5th gear in JAX. They did my A4 about 5 years ago and I have never had problems. I paid $150 which I think is very reasonable. I seem to remember paying $200 before. The wheels are 19X8.5 BBS RS-GTs. It is one of their lightest models at ~21 lbs at the size I have. Tire Rack sells them. They are a +38 offset which had me a little worried at first because they are REALLY close to the front brakes. So far I have had no clearance/rubbing issues and I've pushed it quite hard I'm pretty happy with the results.

I had to ditch the CHs. Too popular in JAX LOL!

More pics in my picture poster.

Default It took the guy 2 hrs on the dot. $150 to save my knuckles? Done.

All of the ghetto chrome wheels in the place do not inspire confidence, but they really do good work.

Where in jville do you live? I agree with CHS. All the Jax S4s are too blingy for my taste.

Also, how new are your brake pads? The rims might not fit when you get brand new pads.

Default so HOT!!! Good thing you didn't get the CH's ;-)

Big price difference between the CH's and RS-GT's though! Before I bought my CH's, I was about to jump on a deal for a used set of 18" RS-GT's, but new 19's at the same price point kept begging my name. Nice though!

BTW...I keep seeing posts on boards where people pay between $200 to $400 to get suspension work installed. I always thought this was crazy and never paid more than $120 on other cars I've owned. Maybe we're just lucky in our area! =)

5th Gear used to be a decent place, but now they seem really into the bling scene

Default umm, brake pad thickness has nothing to do with rims fitting...

the pad material fits INSIDE the caliper.
