No. But with a stance like that, Id be happy to compromise :thumbs:
But the whole point to 'that' stance is compromise. Slower, more unsprung mass, crap ride, reduced handling. And for what, a stance? Stand up straight and improve your posture if you want a better stance... and pull up your pants while you're at, you're not gangster, innit.

Oh I get it, your preference is to compromise the acceleration, handling and ride of a car for the sake of a 'look'. It's not hard to understand. Now pull up your pants.

*you're
*it's

Like I said, I understand, it's not rocket-surgery but I think you've missed the analogy, your car looks like its pants have fallen down. And much like when your own pants fall down, it's very hard, nae, impossible to run fast with them around your ankles. I like the 'look' but it's stupid, you are in effect detuning the car!

I wrote it off as a typo, so you're welcome.
Am I concerned about detuning an RS6, yeah, it annoys me. Would you bag an F1 car and bolt on 22s?

The problem with all of your 'contenders' is they're static pictures. Now drive all of those cars around Millbrook and push to their limits, I'll take the stock car, thanks. Don't like Millbrook? Ok, lemme pick some nice A and B roads and we'll see what happens.

I like the look but 'the look' destroys the engineering, you take a performance car and cut its balls off. You can't drive fast on bags, you compromise braking/acceleration/ride/handling being overwheeled and the abilities of a performance car are severely limited when attaining the kinds of static drop in the photos above, it's retarded. You end up driving like a granny because you've got the perfect stance, is that what you want from your RS?
