Re: H&R and ADV08

Hi - those wheels, what are they, MTM? Size?

And as for the shocks (and then therefore the lowered stance) - where could I get those? Bilstein?

Thanks in advance

B5 RS4 (MTM St.3) for sale

Sadly, I've finally relented and decided I should really sell my lovely B5 (MTM) RS4 :( Being realistic, I rarely, if ever get to drive it any longer, so I've finally come to the painful conclusion that it's best to sell her on to a 'good home'. Over last summer I think I used the car a sum total of...

How much have you lowered it front/rear?

NIck Johnson's probably worth a call to see what he's currently got (I bought mine from him a couple of years back)

FYI - I'm not sure what the system on the RS4's is as fitted from the factory, but there are currently 50W systems out there (the norm up until now has been 35W) and allegedly they are MUCH brighter I have HID kits retro-fitted to 2 of my motorcycles and I'm thinking of of swapping out the 35W (6000...

Reading this with great interest - my neighbour had his car nicked night before last - (brand new black Audi A3) - major shock as we're in a very low crime area, tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac - copper did stop in to my place after seeing the neighbour and was asking the missus about mine sat in ...

Ditto a lot of what's been said already - you never know who's in the car and what their history is! BUT... stock shocks I found to be pretty terrible - plus stock ( and worn!) rear brakes (and OE fronts for that matter) were woefully inadequate in terms of feel and performance. ARB's do help but I ...

(sigh) and once again it all becomes just too complex, ups the price (or makes the car more fragile) and I lose interest at that stage. Just when I was getting all excited again :(

Looks great - the thing that sells it for me is the grills - so if you could also supply them it makes it all the more interesting! What %-age power gain do you estimate? (I have an MTM st3 showing 471bhp at present) My only real reservation is.....do I lose anything more than the front fogs going t...

Nice :-) Don't suppose you have a pic of these on an RS4 WITH the front end etc all back on and tidied up do you? I prefer the completely 'stock' look is why I'm asking - I dont mind foregoing the foglamps (as I've never ever used them anyway) but I do want to retain front grilles - I'd just like to...

Cheers guys, some good options to look into - think I'll bite the bullet and get the clutch done asap (mainly because I'm out of a job at the end of the month :-( so best get it done whilst it wont hurt!) and see if that makes much of a difference to begin with

S'cuse my complete ignorance of such things but.....I thought that forced induction (turbocharged) airboxes had to be completely airtight, in order to be able to create and maintain a certain airflow pressure [to literally RAM as much air in using the turbo's to create a higher pressure in the box, ...

Not sure TBH - would have to delve into the service history to look - but it's now done 69.5k and I've noticed that on a longer run, at points where I boot it on the m/way I've had a little clutch slip, so I'm thinking I'll be shelling out for a new clutch soon - but not sure that'll alleviate any s...
