Also .. funny, the mental gymnastics of justifying new wheels for the A7 was not for nothing!

The driverside rear tire had a screw in it right on the sidewall ... no air was leaking so I figured I'd leave it until I got the wheels swapped out.

As I was rolling the wheels into the garage, I found a second screw .. right near the sidewall .

I still have my plug kit - my plan is plugging both and monitoring their air pressure .. hopefully I can still get some money out of them on OfferUp.

Rear looks like it could rock a 10mm?
Just to widen up the track a smidge.
They really look good, they make the car
look much newer without making it look ugly new.

Thanks man,

If I see some pop up locally for a deal, I'll definitely snag some - always got my peepers out.

Nice upgrade

Looks fantastic!

hook your peepers on them!

I think we all low key have a crush on Derek @ VGG.

They look perfect!!!

My crush is NOT low key

You made me logged on with my phone to see your pictures. Looks great!

It just occurred to me that you haven't pulled the engine from your S4 in a while....

Looks 69 times better!

springs.
they ride nicely...
h&r sports, specifically.
Sporty but luxurious ride...
if you're due for shocks then B8 Bilstein while you're at it.

That's the thing though, I don't want a sporty ride at all .

This is the only car that doesn't break my back after driving for longer than 30 minutes.

I think 10mm spacers and done ...

IMO that's probably all it needs.

Is the A7 on air?

I'm not describing it right.
I'm old and have sciatica...
I wouldn't recommend something that would be annoying to drive.

Standard shocks / springs.

Getting old sucks .

Back issues are the worst.

H&R OE... a little lower and OE feels

It is so OE that you might question why you even bother to spend $$ on if you can't even notice the drop or a change in comfort level.

Cut it...

h&r sports on bilstein is the way.
I would love for you to drive either of my cars to get your impression

I am sure those are the ones you wanted him to try...

You have to be specific

You ever driven a DSG?
I mean a stick is a stick but a DSG is the closest thing to that that is also quite nice to let hammer through the gears.
Either way though it would be for him to feel how compliant the ride is.
S4 has super sport springs and S5 has sport springs...S4 on BillSzchtien and S5 is on stock Sachs.

S2000 is also quite nice with the H&R street performance coils.

i mean, you're talking to a stick purist, ovahhh heahhhhh

I'm genuinely not sure if he was referring to a manual transmission or another type of stick.

^

Well that's a bit odd.

Cleaned up / made an excuse to head into work ... wheels / tires ride perfectly and are surprisingly quiet.

Gorgeous.

Sportbacks...esp. Hyundai/Kia sportbacks...FTW.

Though wait...I think the chances of the A7/S7/RS7 to be confused with a Kimchi car is pretty slim.






It's just the A5/S5/RS5 Sportback I think.

As long as you don't re-badge it with 4 rings you're good.

Nice 4x4

bUt iT rIdEs cUmfy, mmmmkayyyyy

Needs spacers too. Needs those tires flush with the fender wells. IMHO.

:gheyfight:

I am all about comfort, but a floaty old man EMO suspension ain't for me.

That's the thing though ... it's not floaty.

I think it feels perfect.

You have been tainted.
Big time.

listen, it rides awesome and doesn't eat up tires.
and in truth, it looks great too. It can just look GREATER with a little drop and some spacers.
That's what kills me every time...I SHOULD leave every one of my beaters alone but once
I can picture it, it's over...it's gotta happen.

Trust me when i say I really believe you
