Anyone with an Avant with SS+ could you please

Post by RSKiwi » Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:15 pm

Post a side on pic?

It would be much appreciated :beerchug:

Mines about to get SS+ springs fitted but I have just noticed this ad on eBay where they reckon they have SS+ and it doesnt look any lower than mine.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-AUDI-RS4 ... 907wt_1255

I am 99% positive mine does not have it, anyone know the SS+ code I need to look for in the handbook? I cant find the code list through searching :drink:

I hope I havent just bought a set of springs I dont need!

Cheers

The RS4 on Ebay does look high at the rear for SS+ - i have it on mine and the rear wheel is in the arch - i cant get my hand in to check tread depth.

Having propbs posting pics though - sorry

This is sounding like my cup of tea, in fact I can almost fit a cup of tea between the wheel and arch on mine. :audibash: Roll on getting them fitted....maybe a set of H&R ARBs to go with them would be of benefit too. :bigblink:

only thing for me anyway is looking at the front arch cap isnt the same, so coilovers for me, all for 40mm lower on the front.

The SS+ dosn't level the car just lowers the set up so the front still has a bigger gap

I would say its inbetween stock and ss+ my mate just bought one with ss+ plus and it looked like it had a full boot with a very uneven stance (not to my taste) it drove a little firmer but not as bad as perhaps some people have commented,the back wheels deffo were into the arches and front looked normal

My SS+ suspension, it does sit lower at the back but its not that bad.

I live in the lanes which are not great roads and TBH i dont find it to harsh, however i can vouch for the handling, its excellent :thumbs:

Here's mine, also with the sport suspension. I'm quite happy with it, don't find it too harsh.

Mine has the V8 badges on the side - i dont actually like them as makes it look a bit chavy (imo) need to know how to take them off - if you can.

Those pics are just how mine looks with SS+

Loving the white RS4 with black optics and those wheels.
