Default Stasis MS on - And all cleaned up.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/139492/img_0823-1.jpg"></center><p>Finished the Stasis MS install this week. Found time to clean her up today. The Stasis MS was a great mod. Like a new car. I didn't realize how bad the DRC was leaking or how much the leaking system impacted the ride.

Default Is it just that the pic looks dark on my display or...

is it the evening pic giving the darker color to rims/mirrors/grill?

Default I don't know

I think maybe the angle of the sum behind the car is causing it. The rims and trim are standard silver. I took the five photos in my library at the same time-ish today.

So here is my question... if the DRC wasn't leaking would you have done it?

Default Yup - Keep in mind its still covered by factory warranty, so...

In fact when I started down the MS path with the group buy late last year, I didn't know the DRC was leaking (just a little sweat around the front right). I didn't know it was without pressure until I opened the lines and nothing came out.

I think the MS system is worth every penny. I've had other cars I've done similar work to (mostly 70 era muscle cars and a couple street rods) and the improvement was always dramatic. I knew I would see improvement on the RS4. I am amazed how much though.

Default Several questions: R u running spacers? Did you just throw the suspension on or did you also

change the ride height? Did you change and damper settings? What is your ride height? Last but not least, can you post some more pics without the front tire turned.

Default nice... always looked at them. Any concern about having to rebuild them?

I have seen/heard on the B5s that they need to get rebuilt every ~20k miles.

Default Yes, No, Stasis Settings for...

Spacers - Using H&amp;R - front=8mm, rear=10mm - No rubbing - yet...
Used the Stasis aggressive street height settings (f=25.5, r=25.625).
Dampers set to Aggressive Street (Check With Jim Rose at Stasis for the latest tech spec v4).
More photos - sure - I'll post more tomorrow.

BTW - I also installed an H-Sport rear sway and a set of Chicago Performance Tuning adjustable control arms. The guys at the alignment shop (Gran Turismo East) loved the set up and said I did a really good job at getting the height set. They checked all my work to make sure I didn't miss anything.
