This is the condition of the wheels, and as you can see the tyres are like new.

4x 18" Avus alloys with Kumho winter tyres

Having sold the car, I now have a set of winter wheels and tyres to sell. They're genuine Avus S4 18" alloys, and the tyres are Kumho I'Zen KW27 in 225/45/18 all round. The tyres have covered no more than 2,000 miles and are basically like new. The wheels are all straight and true, and whilst they'r...

Re: FS - 2004 S4 Avant

...and collected this morning.

To be honest, if I'd had three to sell I think they'd have all gone over the weekend!

Equipment includes electric memory seats, RNS-e sat nav (with 2010 firmware and maps update), BOSE stereo with CD changer, carbon interior pack, cruise con...

Re: MOT time

When they test the brakes they won't do it on the rollers, they'll do it by accelerating through their carpark and then standing on the anchors, and measuring the retardation with an accelerometer. They'll do it a second time for the handbrake, too.

Re: Anyone tried H&R springs on theirs?

Cheers guys.

I think I'm going to stick to OEM, though. Should still be significantly better than the worn springs that are on there now!

Anyone tried H&R springs on theirs?

I need to replace my front springs. I can either go with OEM from the dealer, or H&R to replace all of them. I've got new OEM shocks. Has anyone tried the H&R springs? Do they actually drop it much? I'm not hugely bothered about lowering it, as a decent ride is more important! The only reason I'm co...

Bushes are available from the dealer, or complete arms from Eurocarparts.

Re: Time for some love

The dealer.

Both shocks, bump stops and boots was £235 after discount.

I looked around but couldn't find any elsewhere. TPS could be worth a shout, but they never bothered replying to me.

Re: Very disapointed

The specialist is having you on. The front suspension doesn't cost £3k to overhaul even if you replace every part in it. Front brakes can be changed for £200 using parts from ECP. I had my S4 checked over by a specialist just after buying it and they came up with £6k of remedial work on a car that h...
