Default Anyone tried converting to RWD?
More whp, less drivetrain loss and probably a bit less weight if you can ditch some of the parts up front...?

I say RWD not FWD simply because RWD is more fun and you've already got the driveshaft and rear diff in place. Maybe a FWD conversion is easier? I dunno.

Anyone?

Default Stasis offers an 80-20 setup...
but why even own an S4 if you want a RWD car? There are better cars out there in my opinion if you don't want AWD...

I wouldn't do it, I'm just curious if anyone has.
