Default Hub base diam against wheel, steel braided lines and coil overs?

I've been reading up from time to time on what you guys are up to and I sincerely appreciate all the info you post, it is some good and valuable info!

I have with this input now mounted the Magnaflow cat back, gotten Ferodo brake pads (and Motul fluid), ordered Hotchkins sway bars (front+rear), ordered the short throw shifter and are now in the process of ordering 5mm front spacers and 10mm back... when I was to order H&R asked me about the hub diam, anyone who knows this (save me a couple of minutes), 135mm or 150mm?

2nd question; steel braided lines, anyone got them and in that case from where? Impressions?

Last (for now), coilovers. I've read that the Stassis seem really good. I also saw that (I believe) Craiglieberman got 3kW's, how did those work out for ya? What model and what dolleros?

Thanks guys!

Default where are you getting 135 or 150mm? the center bore (hub) 57.1mm for all modern Audis, IIRC.

make SURE you get the correspondingly longer wheel bolts! not sure who is your vendor, but ECStuning.com has a full armamentarium of spacers and bolts...and good service/prices as well (no relation).

sounds like a nice conservative set of mods you have there....I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the H-sports as well, seems too good to pass up at that price. and it's what I like to call a 'lease-friendly' mod.

Thanks man!
Will let you know when I've received and installed it. When I talked to Stramosphere they said that their intake where soon to be released, from the sounds of it (believe Greg)it can be a good mod.

Hmm, did not really reflect over that but I got that from the H&R guy and what I read on the forum site. Need to take a look to see what the heck they mean.

To answer your second question, I assembled my own brake lines. ECS Tuning sells a set for the front

Default Great, thanks! Just ordered them :) ...

Was earlier today ordering spacers from them and the guy I spoked with then said they did not have steel braided lines for the b7, this guy I ordered from found them straight away

Default Love my KW's!

I have the Hotchkis bars and KW Version 3's. Smooth ride for a car with coilovers, no issues and great handing. I couldn't recommend them more.

Default Thanks for the info!..

What made you go with this choise compared to Stassis?
How hard/easy are they to adjust?
Are you tracking or autocrossing your car?
The KW's seem to be a bargin compared to the Stassis, found the KW's for 1900 compared to 4k for the Stassis..
