RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Ok had the car a week now (I had an Avant a few years ago) and done a number of things and lots of research on mods. When I bought the car it had a de-coke 5 months ago and a rolling road print out the car was / still is healthy.

Things done so far:

Full detail
Full Leather care carried out
Spacers all round
New Tyres
Front Splitter fitted
Exhaust resonator (done already) + valve mod done
Private plate put on
Full service carried out.
New badges all round as they had faded.

Comming soon:

Windeflector
RS4 Mats
New FBSW Part
Rear colour coded boot spoiler.
Thinking of a Remap ??
I was thinking of getting the Brushed silver all done in Gunmetal Grey ??

I'm not going to do the lights, or lower it, so what else can be done ??

If I'm honest I'm finding the seats a little to much, they look nice but they are to much for the this car, I have a much more extreme toy and the seats are lovely and have the same support !! But I know the seats are part of the cars appeal so I will bear with them!!

A piccy !!!

You NEED to do the egg yolks !!!

Car looks ace !

It looks a ball ache !!

I assume that photo is before the spacers went on? It needs spacing and lowering. I know you said you are not lowering it, but that's my thoughts.
Not sure about the front splitter. What colour is it (the splitter)?

If you're gonna spray the trim, I'd do them the same colour as the wheels. Or get the wheels done at the same time to match the new trim colour.

And I love those seats. Better than what you get in any of the new RSs.

The splitter is Black and you have Not got a very good eye then, Spacers are on and bigger than most have. I am not having a jolty ride, lowering does to the car either, the wheels are gunmetal grey, hence doing the trim the same color.

The seats are a little extreme for a 400 bhp car !!

It's not about the power, it's about the lateral grip and these cars can go round bends bloody fast. Without these seats, as a passenger I'm sliding all over the place. The supersports seats in the RS3 offer nowhere near as much support and I am often face-planting the side window.

Apologies, but it's hard to tell as the front wheel is turned and the back looks like it needs to come out a little more. What size spacers did you go for?

It's spaced enough 15 mm all round. Porsche seem to get seats right by the way, I've had all sorts of seats, Bride, FQ recaros, RS seats, Turbo seats these I find a little to much!!

Have you got non OEM wheels then? Doesn't look like 15mm spacers on so I suspect your wheels are not the original RS4 ones with an offset of ET29 and 9inches wide?

Of course the wheels are OE

Is that the Cupra splitter?

I have read the posts back, what Sh1t as you say exactly ???

I have been told not sure on the front splitter, lower it, when I don't want to, my car has not been spaced and I have copy wheels...!!

I have just replied to the posts.

As a lesson in politics, this thread is amazing

Probably best not to lower the ride height, it will only make the lack of torsional stiffness more noticeable.

Not a huge fan of the cab but that really is a nice one.

Did they fix the bucket seats for the RS4 or do they still only tilt forward without sliding?

LOL, I guess I was a little direct.

I don't want to lower the car, I've done it on to many, and it spoils the ride quality, topped off with having to drive around on egg shells, due to speed bumps, pot holes and kerbs, lowering a car makes you slower !!!

I'm not sure on the fix, at 6ft 2 I just find them a bit to extreme and uncomfortable, its the same for friends that have sat in the passenger seat. They do look lovely though, and they do make the car, so I will have to live with them.
