Took my splitters off to do a quick 1 step on them to remove light scratches. Not much room to do it with them on the car. Although I really liked how clean it looked without the splitters, it looks more complete with them on. Have new dampers sitting for my BCs to be installed with a front and rear air cup system which arrives this week
Rebuilt my coilovers and installed the front and rear air cup system. Ride slammed, Lift when needed. No more worrying about driveways and speed bumps. Works will be back on soon and I need to wrap the wood in felt.
Just some quick phone pics. No real update. Got my wheels powdercoated since an alignment shop chipped all of them last year. Had to replace my torque damper again because I didn't use loctite and it fell apart. Also cut the inner lip off my quarter panels to dial my fitment in. One side has some body filler so I could only roll it so much. Cups make going around so much easier. Driveways, speed bumps, and shitty roads are not really an issue anymore.
Beyond content with this car and have just been enjoying it . Had to order a new power steering pump as the bearing in mine is making noise intermittently. 15 year old car things..

don't buy a new one, ask @sockr1 he is the expert at rebuilding PS pump
How's the front suspension treating you these days?
You get it all fingered out?
Only thing that happened were the upper ball joints were coming out of the arms on both sides. OEM arms with only 14k at the time I noticed it. Got them pressed back in and welded into the arm. Besides that, everything has been solid. No axle wobble (knock on wood). Didn't rip another cv boot after the last incident. Pretty sure it was dry rotted lol. Air cups were a great addition, I like being able to lift it if I need to so I am not destroying my car over speed bumps, driveways, and shitty roads.

Looks Beautiful! Luv it!
Did I miss the pics of Air Cups? Or do you have any pics? Sounds very cool!
LOVE the air cups. How's the quality of the kit? It is quite intriguing since I'm itching to dabble into that stance life with the V...
Thank you! Id rate it 8/10. Pretty much since day 1, I've been having issues with my tank losing pressure. Ive redone the culprit fitting multiple times and it holds a nice seal for only a few weeks but goes back to losing pressure within the hour. I need to reach out and start a warranty claim. Besides that, they've been great!
Famous last words!
I sometimes miss having one...but really, it's not the end all be all.
In truth, the Audi are technically better in almost every regard so the only
real reason I miss it is sentimental value.
Honestly, it still has not really hit me. I sold the wheels because I got a solid offer. 30 minutes later got a deposit for the car and was picked up 2 days later. All happened so quick.

Yeah there are bigger fish in the sea. But I will definitely always miss the car just based on the experiences I had
