RE: How many RS4 owners use radar detectors...?

before the cops here stopped using radar (now they only use laser) I had a Valentine V1 in the car. Very happy with it, went off well ahead in time before the radar trap.

Skaala, sorry for the thread drift but do you mind telling me how the car rides and handles on those 19x10 wheels of yours? Is it worse than the stock wheels or about the same? They are slightly lighter I think so that should be a plus. Also what tyre size do you run? I havent bought them yet, but ...

10 x19 BBS CH ET20 will fit with the RS6 caliper with 5mm spacer and minimal grinding of the caliper bar. Do you mind sharing how you got those wheels in 5x112? I love love those wheels with the deep concave but I thought they were only made in BMW fitment. They are originally only for BMW, but sev...

RE: RS2 at the

not my best lap :p I cant say enough just how much fun the RS2 is on the Nordschleife. brakes never fade, no overheating, IMHO it seems to run better after beeing spanked around the ring for a few laps. Don't think there are many original 16 year old cars that are faster on the track.

RE: Pics of your mods...

Is that the R32/Cupra R splitter? I just bought the OEM R32 splitter after tips from rs6.com. Do you have any tips or pics from installing it..

RE: OEM Quality RS4 Mat Set, Genuine RS logos - Group Buy Of

I'll take one set when LHD is available. Will logos on the rear mats be available as well? Can you deliver the Avant boot mat with logo as well? I think this is the same size as normal A4 Avant. Can anyone confirm?

Re: RE: Anyone running 380mm MTM brakes?

the mtm caliper is the same brembo item thats used on the rs6 and just uses a 7.5mm spacer to jack it out for the extra diameter disc. ok, so the MTM calipper and C5 RS6 calipper is the same? Or you can get a replacement caliper carrier fabricated like I did so the wheels don't stick out further, i...

Anyone running 380mm MTM brakes?

I have just ordered some snowtires for my car with BBS CH 8,5x18 and I am planning either to run BBS CH Black 10x19 on summertires or 9,5x19 MTM wheels. I want to change to the 380mm MTM brake kit before I go to the Nürburgring again :) I know that BBS CH 10x19 will rub on the RS6 front brake setup...
