Default Better late than never....

Finally picked up my new phantom black/black 2008 RS4 tonight - fortunately I've had two years to read up on theories of optimal break in, oil consumption drama and rampant deflapping - already feel like a seasoned owner here....

For those of you in the tri-state area, I can highly recommend Riverside; they were very cool to deal with - can't say the same for Biener who made it very difficult for me to buy a 70k car from them

Anyway, difference between my 2005.5 S4 and the RS is just unbelievable - I may never get rid of this car

Pics to follow once tint and V8 debadge is complete

Congrats. Wait a minute you already have mods done to it or are those for your ex-S4?

did you keep the LMs? might fit with spacers.

Didn't... think the stock RS4 wheels are some of the prettiest OEM wheels I've seen

Default A little heavy, but for an OEM in 19x9, 26lbs is pretty decent......

You went with the Neuspeed Forged, right? How much do they weigh? Did you need spacers?

Default Congrats on the new ride...

I was over at Riverside as well, probably checking out the car you bought! In the end, I really wanted Mugello which they did not have and they were not as aggressive on the deal. I ended up getting mine down in MD where my bro is and driving it back up.

Get a clear bra on that thing ASAP!

Congrats! I agree about Biener, they act like they are doing you a favor just talking to you :-(
