I also think the BBS CH is a great looking wheel and looks really nice on the A4/S4 especially if the size/ride height is right.

Not a great picture I know...

I was reccomended by someone (and I can't find the post!) that 15mm at the rear and 10mm on the front was just about perfect!

I asked a similar thing in this thread , and got a reply from philipwalker, who said... You could fit a hub center 10mm spacer, say Eibach or H+R . Generally any spacer less than 10mm does not have the center lip for the wheel to mount on. It should not put any extra loading in the components, it wo...

RE: Help needed

Pretty much as above really. As BlingBling says the B6 isn't as easily modifiable as the B5 as it's normally aspirated - but that does mean the engines' more reliable. Overall the chassis feels more capable, and the interior is that bit more modern. But biggest difference is the V8 soundtrack and th...

A quick question (mostly aimed at Corey) about wheel spacers. I've also always thought the S4 looked a little narrow in it's stance, could this be adjusted easily by just using spacers and keping the standard Avus alloy? Are there any downside to this? Extra strain on the wheel bearing maybe? What a...

RE: S4 Tyres

Funnily enough, i've just had 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 fitted today, after the fronts had worn down to nearly the wear indicators and the missus managed to take a chunck out of the rim protector on one of the back ones! Haven't managed to drive them much yet (only back from the garage!) but the...

Spikey - Did you mange to get hold of a Hi-Res version of the S4 logo at all? Did you purchase the Autostyle mats?

I'm after a new set for my S4 at the moment, and wanted the S4 logo on them.

nidfix - Many thanks for the TSB! Unfortunatly for me the car was bought privately and is now out of warranty, so i'm going to have to cough up for the work. Do you have any idea how long the job took - it sounds like a lot of work? Also, i'm guessing the noise is more of an annoyance rather than do...

S4 cold startup whine

Firstly, apologies for those of you who frequent the audi-sport.net site, as I posted a similar thread on there yesterday. After months of searching for the right car, i've finally bought a 2003 B6 S4 Avant in Dolphin Grey. The cars pretty much immaculate and with stupidly low mileage, one owner and...
