as looking to go lower but even with spacers on the rim was still rubbing on the coilover.

bit of footering with the top mounts and now its around half an inch lower.

lowered the rear a bit more too but was too low so suck it back up a bit.

C+C appreciated

was sitting like this after i lowered the back

havent updated in a while.

have since sold the rs6's. have my new wheels ordered and decided to buy more bits for an air ride kit. also, the rear quarters were in bad nick and paint flaking on the back bumper so decided i would tidy the whole lot up. doing it in two halfs as i need the car. so doing the back half this weekend. heres how i started this evening.

[Stolzy]

nice. how much did you widen her by???

[slimadi]

Looks sweet man rims look dope :alright

[John_O]

cheers for the comments everyone

the quick way to change your oil

pothole+80mph+ a few inches ground clearance = sufficient drainage

[Ollie91]

Definitely seen this before, Jon44w? maybe?

also when you said you were going to "put it on its hole" sort of rang a bell.

to be honest it did look abit feltspec, not that it's a bad thing, but now with the merc wheels looks the absolute ticket. love the car.

[PistolJay9n3]
