Received the coilover lowering kit off Unit 20 as well as 20mm and 15mm spacers. They are now all fitted to the S5. The ride is no different from a comfort perspective. I've not ragged it but turn in feels more flat and responsive so far.

Streetwise in Bristol did it and their pricing was extremely competitive and the job looks good also. Highly recommended, they are a Revo agent as well.

Looks are miles better, looks like a sporty Audi now.

After:

Maybe it needs spacing a bit further though. Perhaps an extra 5mm each.

The lowering looks the nuts. Wonder if the springs would work with adaptive suspension? I'm guessing not.

looks great mate
just need some 20" V spokes now ;0)

muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better

If I had the cash they would have been bought already.

This was a spring kit so was made to work with the DRC

Nicky, looks awesome, cant wait to do mine, I will put mine on when I put the new tyres and refurb.

Looking good ,have you thought of removing the wing badges altogether or replacing them with theSupercharged ones?.

I quite like the V6T badge. Not a fan of the supercharged badge. You got plans for yours in respect to the side badges?

Had dealer remove them before i collected my car as i prefer the stealth look.

Love the S5 platform, so aggressive it makes my lip tremble and maybe a little bit of wee came out too seeing it with its new stance

Loving it buddy

Yeah, I saw the close up shots and thought it needed to go lower, but it looks right in the wider shots mate!

For me the front end is as aggressive as the B8 RS4, really love it.

Honeycomb grill would really sort it out that bit more. Now it's lowered it looks even better.

Parked very near a facelifted S5 coupe 3.0 today, I have to say it was sitting quite high!

Normally I'm not a fan of messing with the OE suspension, but I do wonder whether the facelifted 3.0s are sitting slightly higher than the prefacelift 4.2 V8 which looked fine tbh, that suspension drop looks spot on Nicky, about 30mm you reckon?
