Done. Well, almost done...

[JRP]

When I bought my S4, I was determined not to invest in more than a Stage 1 and coilovers.
The FK Silverline Plus's are on and the APR tune is done...here's a before and after coils shot.

Nice new wheels and that will look good. Not a fan of the dropped cars, but the silver S4 seems to work a bit better. Maybe i'm just attuned to seeing 8000 of them in Vancouver.

You scrape at 2 in the stink and one in the pink? Sounds like your spring rate isnt high enough.... Or a bit more fender rolling.

Re: Done. Well, almost done...

just needs fender rolling

springs are rated like 650 or something.. above H&R but not as stiff as vogt gts

Nice drop love those B5 S4's. I just ordered H&R street performance coilovers and jhm/vast piggie pipes with the fast intentions b7 s4 catback exhaust from JH Motorsports. I will also install my new HSport front and rear sway bars when the suspension is installed I can't wait haha

Re: Done. Well, almost done...

that drop looks nice! are the coils maxed out? also what was the total bill for coils and install?

Hey Ben, and to think that if you hadn't been skiing that weekend, I might have bought your Noggy Did you hang on to it and forsake paying for your education?

The FK's still have about 2-1/2" of adjustment left, right now they are as low as I want them...they've settled a bit because I've noticed a rub or two since yesterday. I wanted to do the install myself but I'm f*cked for time, so Concept did them for me. This was a good thing, as the D/S rear strut mounting pocket was rusted through at the back...you couldn't tell until it was off...and yes, it's the only rust I've found. Ken cut it out and welded a new piece in. All in all, purchase, install and remedial work ran about $1800 which was worth it. Huge ride improvement, car feels very solid without being harsh. I'm starting to appreciate how heavy this thing is compared to my old Celica, that and about 180 additional HP has definitely changed the way I drive...
