Thanks Ryan, luckily the car came with them as well as the OEM rims and winter tires.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks guys, tints are actually on the list already and should be done within the next couple of weeks. I usually get 20% all around for a nice uniform look.

I'll grab some engine pics as well as that's the only thing I've somewhat modified already.

with the two turbos, it's more efficient to have 2 SMIC's as it comes with stock.

if i ever upgrade the turbos to the K04's, i'll grabe the ic's as well.

I think the stock S4 rims are unnessarily ugly for some reason, I dunno.

Either which way, that's how the car came (summers/A4, winters/S4) and I'm not gonna pay $150 to swap.

What do you think?

I like those rims, but only because they are S4 rims. There must be a million A4's driving around with those stock rims.

Thats just me though!!!!
Its like a M3 using 323 rims.

That car really should have some nice 18's and be lowered then it would be done. Thats all you realy need to do to those cars.

Hey Grant

treat yourself to some polish from Zaino.

www.zaino.ca

This is kick ass polish that builds up the more coats you apply.

I am up to 9 coats on the Talon, and the difference is appreciable.

It will make your S4 look super slick and shiny, just in time for you to sell it, and get this: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mtm-audi-s5-gt-supercharged/826442/

I want an RS4.

I've heard many good things about Zaino, might have to give it a try.

Good F'n Lord, that's one hell of a car. I hate you Dan laugh

Great looking car, But I agree on why downgrade to a4 on rims, Maybe look into getting some RS4 reps or something, LATER down the road, it still looks kick ass as it is,

Just looks more A4ish as it sits.. till you smoke them because you have got way more power hah..

Cool on the vag com, have you done anything cool with it yet??

Tints for sure,

And while you lower it maybe go the extra little bit and get a cup kit or coilovers..

Again, lookin sweet grant!


Theres just something about top model, regardless of what year it is that just totally makes the difference in a car! smile

Ya, I hear what you're saying about the rims. I dunno, maybe I'll powdercoat the S4 rims and swap tires or just wait to get a nice set of deep dish 18s.

The S4 does sit lower than the A4 by 120mm or so and to be honest, after 7 years of driving lowered cars, I'm quite content on the ride height of this car at least.

The VAG COM tool is awesome, so much information I don't know what to do with it. I've made a couple of logs and exported to excel, etc. but that's about it. I should hit up some Audi forums to compare logs, etc. but it's gotten most of it's use clearing CEL's and Airbag lights on my gf's 00 VW Beetle, haha.
