right after a month of stress and not knowing if I'm keeping the rs4
it's staying

so I'm looking for a few bits for it , iv got about £1200 to spend on it for the moment

springs ?? price ?? make and drop ( don't want it too low , just above the tyre )
spacers ?? price ?? make and mm
remap ?? mrc
gut precats
alloys referbd ?? colour ( thinking dark silver ) £200
take box out of centre

do you think this little lot is poss for £1200 ????

springs ?? price ?? make and drop ( don't want it too low , just above the tyre ); KW adjustable spring kit is about £400 IIRC (plus fitting). This means you get to keep DRC but can adjust it as high or low as you like. There is a cheapr alternative of H&R springs, but there is no adjustment.
spacers ?? price ?? make and mm; most popular fittments are 8mm front and 10mm rear. H&R hubcentrics seem popular but there are many options. Speak to Virdee or Revolution on here and he'll sort you out with the right ones. Or keep any eye out in the classifeids as these often come up 2nd hand.
remap ?? mrc; yep take it to MRC or don't bother.
gut precats; take it to MRC unless you fancy doing it yourself, there is a good guide on here I think. This'll keep costs down.
alloys referbd ?? colour ( thinking dark silver ) £200; Lepsons seems to be the most popular. But there are other options deending on where you are in the country. I just had mine done a Prestige Wheel Centre in Birmingham (and they are site sponsors). About £60 per wheel I'd say.
take box out of centre; Take it to your local exhaust fabricators, something like Longlife exhausts etc, they should be able to chop out the centre resonator and weld in some straight through pipes. Alternatviely, have an X-pipe fitted instead of the straight pipes.

just been looking and I don't need the kW ajustible ones , as id never ajust them once on
so what's the best none ajustible ones and what drop ??

also what's a x pipe ????

I'm giving Doug a call to day , but feel like I'm wasting his time with all my silly questions and I try rush the convo

The point is not that you will keep adjusting them, rather that you can set your perfect ride height especially as the front sits a bit higher. I think a normal set of Springs will still make the front sit hight unless you start modifying the perches etc. H&R are the ones people normally use, not sure on price or drop but do a search for photos of what it will look like and see if that is what you are after.

A cross pipe basically joins the 2 branches of the exhaust together to make it more efficient (something about scavenging and exhaust gases, Google for more info if you want to know how it works). Apparently this might make a bit more power than keeping the 2 branches separate. Fyi although the standard exhaust looks like it joins the 2 branches at the centre resonator, it doesn't, they are kept separate inside the box.
