Getting done Saturday morning. I'll post some pics up on here at the weekend.
I know Kim too, as used QST a few times many years ago and saw him at the Performance Car show at the NEC and had a good chat. His son's grown up, last time I saw him he was only a nippa.

Yeah, I should have gone for them but I'm waiting for an extended test drive in an RS6 and then the RS3.
I think the 6 is too big for my local roads, and the RS3 might be just right.
If not I'll stick some KW V3's on mine and get on with it!

Been hearing a lot about Centre Gravity and your comment about not having time to get there made me look up where they are. Result, they're not too far from me! Need to get some adjustable arms for by B7 still.

Does anyone know what the warranty implications are with lowering the car, along with adding the spacers? I want to do it to my one when it arrives in May? Do Audi need to have it done by anyone in particular?

Afaik , you adjust anything from manufacturer spec and you run the risk of any claim being turned down. There are no "audi approved" mods. Dont want to risk it? Dont touch it.

Some people talk of having a great relationships with dealers and they overlook it, but if something major goes pop, you could be on your own

Just my 2 pence, maybe im a sissy!

No offence to anyone.
It's my car and I will do what the fock I want to it. Dealers and insurance companies, they can both fock off as far as I am concerned.
There was never any of this sh1t in the 80's, all this control pi55es me right off.
My car is modified to high heaven and I love it !
