Default it should be noted: the wheels i'm referring to are

my 18x8.5 RS4 reps <a href="http://community.webshots.com/album/550700007CCWcNS">seen here</a>

my stock swings are in fine shape, and the tires on them now (225/50/16 BFG gForce Sports) are &lt; 10k miles old and have a ton of tread left...

this change anyone's opinion?

Default oh, u said that already. stasis track sport or bust haha.

we def. both need to get a ride in stasis track sport/vogtland/h&amp;r s4 coilovers.

maybe ill post in the SoCal forum to see if anyone is willing to help us out.

my vote is to save up for 1 more month and get new rubber/COs at the same time.

Default Suspension.

A lowered A4 on swings doesn't look too bad, honestly. Never was a big fan of the swings, but I've gotten used to them.
