Wow, very nice transformation, those CVTs and drop look spot on
What coils did you end up with?

And yea a v8 producing the same hp as the g37 ipl is pretty sad for Audi...
Should have used the s4 engine from the start...duh. Also the rs5 is a 4.2 V8 as well, s5s are a fail IMO. But I can totally see why people get it, it's hot. I considered it as well.

What spacers did you get with the stock rims and did you change the lugs too?

S4 engine = S5 engine
RS5 engine = S5 engine on steroids.

The issue I had were the quality of parts isn't what you'd expect from what you pay for. Unfortunately I found that out after buying the car.
*Rule of thumb, only buy new/almost new Audis from now on.

^^ Good advice on buying Audi's. Infiniti is much more reliable, I have issues with mine but nothing big, but still annoying. Love my car though, you won't regret it.

The G is beautiful. The Audi is not.

The springs felt pretty much like stock. I wanted to go lower so coils were a better option. My springs were also uneven by 1/2"-1" so it wasn't an optimal choice for me.

The BC BRs feel great, and I am determined to figure out the knocking sound issue in the rear coils. I am pretty certain is finding a sweet spot between spring compression and strut height so that the spring is always compressed in the basket and doesn't make that annoying noise.

For those who live near DC, you know how the roads are. I drive downtown very often and so far the car gets around just fine. Just gotta dodge potholes, watch out for those manhole covers sticking out 2-3" out of the ground for no reason and avoid construction areas.

Stock sport exhaust.

I gotta figure out if I can run less camber up front, most likely yes but I don't want to buckle my fenders on a turn.

That thing looks amazing man! Look forward to seeing it in person when it gets warmer! I've been debating some 20's but living in Richmond I think i'm gonna stick with the stock wheels for now.
