New shoes! Interestingly, the rear height looks fine with these, even though it hasn't changed.

These wheels are awesome. What offset do you run? Spacers used, too?

I went to an F80 M3. Didn't drive it much as working in Dusseldorf then lock down. Had it lowered on H&Rs, braided hoses, DS32500's DOT5.1, geometry setup by Center Gravity, as always. I absolutely love it. It's not an RS4 B7 but it's great replacement and I think it looks fab.
GLWS I'm sure it will go :thumbs:

19x9.5 ET25 custom ordered in the Audi PCD from a Work distributor in Australia (JDM Concept).

No spacers. Tyres are 255/35/19 Michelin PSS. As noted before in this thread I'm also running KW V3 coilovers slightly lowered.

Car is now sold Image

Great to know! I drove one and it got under my skin in a serious way. I always loved the B7 for so many reasons, and it's been the best car I've ever owned, but my first love has always been RWD cars. I missed slidey slidey with the B7.

I bought a discovery 4 of all things. I do a fair bit of long distance driving (or used to... Pre-COVID), and getting back into camping, hiking etc so it suits my lifestyle better.

That said, I'm debating the next car. Sell the D4 and get a new Defender? Keep it as a second car and pick up an F80 M3 as a daily? Keep it as a daily and pick up a G series 911 or a E46 M3 as a toy? Keep it as a second car and pick up a C7 RS6 as a daily?

F80 is my most likely course of action but we shall see. I even like how they sound (with the Akrapovic). The wife says I need to finish the house renovations first.
