Pic(s) wanted - S4 Saloon, 18's not lowered

Post by GrahamS4 » Fri Sep 15, 2006 12:23 pm

As per the title.

I'm pretty sure if I went to 18" wheels I would like most people then feel the need to lower the car. Bigger wheels always tend to empahsise the stock ride height.

But, I would like to see any pics you guys have having fitted tyour 18's prior to lowering the car.

Cheers!

Mines not lowered yet and there's a pic of it in my gallery. Also you'll see it in the metal tomorrow.

It would have been lower tomorrow but seems I have to be somewhere...

LOL. I thought about asking around tomorrow to see who's is lowered and by how much, but thought the chances of seeing an unlowered car were slim......I'll take a look.

Same here Graham, check my gallery. Its an Avant though. I must admit I hate the way it looks but just dont have the time to fit my RS4 suspension.
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

You must agree now that a little lower would be good...

This is not an S4, but a 2.8 Quattro with Sport suspension which I think is the same as the S4?
