19" RS4 replicas?
Current: '04 Astra SRI Turbo - EDS IPF Flash, 3" TBE, Quaife LSD
Previously: Bora 4mo, cams, coilovers, tune, exhaust, brembo's etc
Yeah theyre 19" RS4 reps and the suspension's Weitec Hicon GT coilovers. Pretty impressed with them, especially for the price. Pretty bumpy, but not harsh or as violent as most coilover kits are. I wound the front up a little bit after I took that pic. The front bar was only 80mm off the ground there, and the lowest point was 55mm off the ground lol

Does it scrub? 55 at the lowest haha nice, however terribly impractical![]()

Haha, yeah it did. But not as bad as you'd thinkOnly scrubbed on decent bumps, and I could surprisingly still get full lock with it like that. Ive wound them up about 25-30mm since then, and it is very driveable now, doesnt scrub at all and still looks really good and low!
what offset are your rs4 reps?
19 x 8 +35 offset on all four. Im happy with the flushness on the front, but would like the rears to sit closer to the guards. I think 9" width would probably be ideal, or 10" for a bit of poke.
yeah i've got the exact same specs as you (also reps), and agree, fronts are perfect, but rears could be spaced out 10mm more, though i don't want the worry of having an illegal mod that could void insurance...
the only thing convincing me to put spacers on the rear is that the rear's don't experience anywhere nears as much as the forces in the front wheels, so chances of the rear wheels being the cause of an accident are not very likely, meaning it would be less likely that the insurer would try to void your insurance on those grounds, but still who knows i've got no idea on how strict they are... so probably not worth the risk

With insurance i wouldn't unless you can get it in writing that they approve but since its illegal i dont see that happening. I've heard storys about insurence being void because they didn't tell them that they put new mags on the car which wouldnt even do anything but they will try to get out of it anyway possible
