The car looks better in the flesh but I am still a little bit on the fence with them. I think once the scuffing is sorted I will be perfectly happy and it's not like they are common on this beast yet. To those in the know, based on those pics, what ride height increase do you think I can get away with before I make her look stilt-like?

Totally forgot to stick the MRC badge on, will do that when I have a few mins to do it properly.

Making this post a bit of a quick link to other parts of this thread, showing various mods so people don't have to trawl through all 40-odd pages. Links below:

They are unusual and look business-like. I definitely don't remember seeing another RS6 like it.

I think the colour of the wheels works. You wouldn't want any darker, IMO.

I think you can go 15mm higher on the front and 10mm higher on the back.

Agreed. It really depends on the sunlight etc hitting them. In bright light they look almost Ti coloured which is what I would have liked in an ideal world but can also look pretty dark like that. Thanks for the height guesstimate as I was figuring on about 10mm all round. Might stick to that unless we actually want the back looking like it is riding higher? Personal taste I guess.

I noticed the rear wipe angle and it has moved since I first fitted it...... I am going to put it back where it should be when I do the badge.
