I didn't get on with the SS at all but might give it another go.

The REMAP, now that completely transforms the car, it's torquey in every gear and is how the car should have left the factory imo.

Will have to try the S/S for myself before taking the plunge i think, I spose again, it's a mod that might not suit everyone.

I've also been toying with ARBs and a DTS

Remap will be the finishing touch, so tempted to get it done now, but trying to leave it as long as possible as i'm fairly happy with the factory performance for the moment.

I've got the s/s and like it but everyone will have there own view.I'm not sure about arb,s as i did mine at the same time as the coilovers
so couldn't really tell the difference each item makes.But combined they feel great.
I think you should remap it at some point,but its good to enjoy each mod as you do it,rather than rush out and do it all at once,where's the fun
in that.
I usually finish doing all the mods and get the car just as you want it then sell it,how stupid.
But if your in to modded cars then half the fun is putting your own stamp on something.

Very nice there mate, love the picture location (did you drive up onto the pavement lol), I do love the stance of this B5, how do you find the Billy's to over stock suspension?

Drove around Central London looking for a few places to take pics, second set of pictures were taken outside some goverment building, the security there weren't too impressed!!!

Love the Bilsteins, the difference over stock is huge, from the handling, to ride comfort. Believe it or not, as low as mine is, it's actually more comfortable than when it was stock, I am truly amazed by the set up, for those who are in 2 minds, i say don't waste time, take the plunge and go for the PSS9s

I love the wheels N11LS_J where did you find them? im just off the phone to the stealers they want 2368.63 for a set

Post by **N11LS_J** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 3:34 pm

Thanks Ronan

Forget the them mate, never go to stealers for anything!

Actually knowing they charge that price makes feel even better as i paid £800 for the set!

Mine were sourced from Germany, the C6 RS6 is so new so will take a while for these to start showing up on the second hand market, will be difficult to get a hold of but be patient as they are well worth the wait, the problem is that most people who purchase the C6 RS6 would 98% of the time opt for the optional 20" wheels and not got with the standard 19s.

Sorry can someone explain the difference between the C6 RS6 Rims that I have only ever seen the sort of widened 5 spoke alloys,

In fact these!

NIILS, do you know anywhere that sells these for cheaper?

N11ls, Love the look of the car awsome! Would highly recommend the Hotckis ARB's. I got mine fitted at the start of the month by Grizz and the car is great for handling now. The steering is much more responsive as is the cornering all together.

Like the "Your computer is infected" warning....why is the word prevent spelled "pervent"?

Lovely location shots and car looks good BTW!

The C6 RS6 comes with the 19" 10 spoke wheel that i have on mine as standard, the 20" 5-spoke wheel you see on this B7 are optional extra's.

Most people who tend to place an order for the C6 pay £££s and I spose for that reason decide to go the whole hog and opt for the optional 20s, which means locating a set of the 19" standard wheels would be a bit of a challenge!

Ebay.de is normally great for these wheels, keep an eye out on there and be patient mate, they will turn up, and usually at a good price too, just like i did!!!

'Pervent'! I didn't even notice that, bloody spyware crap on my laptop doing my life in, they could heve atleast spelt it correctly!

Thanks for the comments on the car, location was brilliant for pics, wanted to take more but damn security guard wasn't having any of it!
