Hey guys,
I guess I might as well start a thread for my b7 a4.
So Ive had it since May 2013.
Within a month I put on some 19x8 Bremmer Kraft BR05's. I was stock sport suspension then so it was acceptable IMO.
I was even a chauffeur for my cousins wedding!
Somewhere in the mean time I also went with the APR stage 1 tune! (Although now I want to go with JHM...
) Hands down best money spent on this car. Changes the car drastically.
Then 2014 rolled around, and I got some actual aesthetics done to the car! Finally got some ST coilovers, a Cupra R lip, all paired up with a square setup of 18x9.5 ESM 002R's ET40. They wouldnt clear the front brake calipers with the 10mm spacer I read that I would need. Wtf.
Turns out a 20mm spacer was needed WITH a minor shaving.. So a pretty aggressive fitment IMO. But looks good IMO none the less.
*Credits to bucky for the picture*
Somewhere in the mean time I picked up a APR test pipe off someone here as well as went stage 2. Not too much of a noticeable increase, but im sure it helps the car run better.
On the way to BC in 2014 for vacation though I ended up getting some Bacon. Sadly it was not where I wanted the bacon to be =(
Both sides are like this. You can visibly see that they bend inwards due to the wheel itself hitting the fender. Not sure why this actually happened though as I raised the car considerably before leaving for the trip, but it still sagged...
I never got around to fixing it in 2014, but I want to get it dialed in and fixed this season!
As you can see the rears are starting to get some surface rust going on (and you can see the white paint from the wheel hitting the fender ) And yes. All FOUR corners the paint has burned through, but only the rear's are Bacon.
Anyone got some advice as to how I can fix my stance? Im going to max my camber in the rear (as it is adjustable) to see if that'll help, but any other suggestions? Maybe some custom sized spacers for the rears so they sit perfectly?
I recently also got an Ebay RS4 style grille, and it actually fit surprisingly well. Other than the top part under the hood that I still need to take a heat gun to as it doesnt sit flat but instead bends upwards. The seller did offer me a partial refund for that though which im happy about! Also picked up a new headlight washer cover as either a) someone stole mine. I heard thats a common thing.... or b) it somehow came off which is unlikely..
And yes. That bumper gap is something that needs to be done as well. But im planning on doing that when I do my clear corners.
Also managed to pick up a 034 Rear Sway bar + End links off ebay for a decent price! Makes the car grip to the road so much better.
