Hey, just bought Powerflex poly bushes set accept sway bar bushes because i'm going to upgrade to hotchkis or H&R.

Any wheel alignment set ups for stock DRC suspension for aggressive Street Setup that you recommend?

I'll post my experience when i'm going to install the powerflex bushes this week.

Mine was pretty low but I always had it set to standard alignment once I had the adjustable arms fitted.
The only exception was when it was so low and I had 20s with 265 wide tyres on so I set the rear camber a little more negative to give them a little clearance at the arches, but as soon as I went back to 255 I dialled out the negative camber to put it back to normal.

Hey do you have KW variant 3 fitted? I saw that your car has goodyear tires, i would suggest you to get a set of michelin pilot super sport 96Y ,i work in a tire Shop so i talk from experience.

Your RS4 looks cool by the way!

Thanks but that was an old photo. It was replaced with a RS6 Performance for 3 years and now that has gone too. I fitted the Pilot Supersports to my RS6 and now run PS4S on my current car.

No, I didn't have the coilovers, I had the KW adjustable springs so kept the OEM DRC dampers but allowed me to adjust the height of the car.

You still own an audi now? After having RS6 80% of the production car you drive seems too slow lol.
I drove one time a C6 RS6 MTM 730 hp.Can't forget that torque feeling :P

No I'm in an Alfa now. Doesn't have the torque of the RS6 Performance but when higher up the rev range it's faster. As long as its not raining.

Which alfa model mate?

When it rains AWD cars are unbeatable. I have expearenced that with my cousins old SL 55 AMG but on dry road SL 55 from dig is 2-3 cars behind until 3rd gear and then starts to catch the RS4 real quick!

Thanks Marc.
Yeah it's fun in the dry. Not so fun in the wet, have to take it easy unlike the B7 where you could hammer it regardless of weather.
The new tyres make a big difference though and at least make it driveable in the wet without having to heat the tyres up first.

Need more pictures mate. Looks mean... as per all your cars haha. Have you dropped it yet? Looks a bit lower than stock. MP4S tyres I assume. What are the plans for it?

Cheers :thumbs:

The most beautiful Giualia i ever seen :bigblink:

Don't you ever think try change the wheels she looks perfect. Always take care your tires RWD cars don't forgive like your previous B7 and RS6.

You was an audi fun , how did you end up with the alfa?

I'm not italian cars fun but this is one of the most beautiful saloons i ever seen.

Your next set should be the PSS on the alfa , when i got my car 10 months ago it had an old set of PSS and i replaced with a new set.
I didn't expect a 255/35/19 tire to be that good in rain altough the roads here in greece have bad traction because of the bad terrain quality and bumpy roads.

Great looking car
Is it lowered? In my opinion the ride height is perfect
Remember get a couple of passengers in it and drops more, ~10 mm or so
Ceramic brakes?
Black is great, butt a pita lol
