I can see the pics now that is weird they show up in a quote but not original post.

That might be the longest bike rack I have even seen. Shit is like 1/3 the length of the car

No fuckin idea but thank you Morgan!
Yeah dude, keep them wind jiggling pedals away from my fuckin bumper!
It's a 4 bike rack so I put the bike the furthest out from it to use the built in lock.

Majofo is my dude, he already know...
Just need to order some clear vinyl to protect the roof...it marred a little after only
2 days of the rack on there with nothing being hauled.

but naw...everyone has it now, it's not even cool anymore when you see
that bitch on an odyssey actually, fun fact...the Caddy's plate lives

I do love that the bike and kayak all match.

I need to get a new plate this year. Was going to get the Endless Summer plate...but I think the turtle plate will look better on my Audi.

I'm heavily considering it.

No...but I do have a downpipe sitting in the spare bedroom waiting for me to put it on. Still saving up for the Stage 2 Tune. Why is it my wife always has more important things to do with our money?

Dude, the apr tunes for the fuckin 3.0 are even MORE money...1000 for ecu tune and like 800 for tcu tune. Uh...

I mean, sure but lord...that's a lot of cash. I think that's why I'm dragging feet no the piggy back tuner...I can plug
it in or remove it to fool around with shifting and throttle response by myself and I already own it. It's def understeer
happy though in curves and definitely still has a lot of body roll even with the springs...so I'll probably just do the 034
rear sway. I think that's all I'll need to balance it out.

I like it
I'm also contemplating those mats that @civicdrivr had posted but I'm not sure I want the added different


I'm annoyed that my car came with A4 mats and the passenger one is cracked. I may just get the S4
ones for the front but I wish they were red logos like the 2018 and 2019...they don't list them as backward
compatible but I wonder if they are.

I love the Tuxmats. Highly recommend if you have the cash laying around. It's best to order directly from them since they're in Canada and the conversion works in our favor (for now).

So $250 plus shipping?
I'm gonna hold off...they're definitely nice but I don't need mats right now.
I'd rather spend that money on the sway bar. Even then, I'm waiting for
a used one to pop up on the black market.

Agreed. They're pricey.

If nothing pops up used, there will most likely be sales around July 4th.

What has you eyeing the 034 bar specifically?

The fact that it's adjustable and seems like a solid upgrade...and comes with the new bushings and mounts
that have built in zerk fittings (yay, any squeaks and no need to unbolt anything)
H&R only comes with the bushings and isn't adjustable...st tuning, meh, price is almost the same and I don't
know the brand well...for something like this Megan makes one that is cheaper and probably good enough but
it's backordered. hotchkis looks good too but the rear alone part number doesn't seem like it's compatible after the 8.5 refresh.


I don't want to get front and rear because they say it brings the bias back to stock with less roll.
In my experience with the TL...the rear progress bar on street or track setting made the car feel tight as fuck.
The S4 needs it...it's floaty when changing lanes and definitely oversteer happy when taking sweeping curves.

So that led me back to the 034 Motorsports...the only one in stock with ecs (supposedly) and adjustable and
comes with the brackets and bushings

I decided not to wait for black market sale because Audi owners think that used parts should still demand 95% of
their original cost.

Damn, I would've suggested BMP Tuning or even USP Motorsports. It's the same price, but ECS sucks

I love BMP Tuning! They give you points for each dollar you spend, which gives you discounts on future purchases. They also give me tracking information within minutes of placing my order. They are freakin awesome.

My only experience so far that wasn't good with ECS was the lip they said they had in stock and then when I placed the order it said ships in August.
Like what the fuck?

like your last girlfriend? Amanda Hugnkis?

@Aman supposedly, you will notice, this car has a TON of body roll when you slalom even lightly on the highway, and when you take off ramps
quickly you definitely feel like the front is gonna plow straight away. Supposedly this'll tighten things up quite a bit...I recall feeling like the TL tightened
up a LOT with the adjustable progress rear sway bar. Used market on them is strong as shit anyway so if I feel like it's bullshit, I'll resell it. I'm still doing
okay budget wise but the fact that I'm doing little things like this should be a good indication of how much I really dig this car. Like, legit...love to look at it
love to drive it...

It's going under the knife for that front bumper...RS grill and black optics replica fog grills coming soon
