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.

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

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....

.This is the only car that doesn't break my back after driving for longer than 30 minutes.
I think 10mm spacers and done ...

Standard shocks / springs.
Getting old sucks .
Back issues are the worst.

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.

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

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

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.

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

That's the thing though ... it's not floaty.
I think it feels perfect.

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.
