My RS5 is on air, so I can get over pretty much anything. I know the R8 folks commonly swap out the magride for BC’s, but how are ya’ll navigating treacherous terrain otherwise? I don’t think the R8’s came with a front end lift if I recall. The R8 will be my next car, I’m just used to being able to adjust the suspension on the fly. Pic attached so ya’ll can see what the poor drive 😂
Cheers and Happy 4th!
Car is pretty much done, owned it for about 2 years now. I owned an S5 V8 back in the day and knew I’d get an RS eventually. The car itself is basically immaculate considering I’ve got almost 90k miles. Goal was an OEM+ look. I drive it at pretty much stock height.
In no particular order of mods:
Full PPF/Ceramic
B8 drivers custom headlights
Void forged wheels
Airlift ALP4 w/ floating Squaretank
Suspension was COMPLETELY overhauled. Replaced almost all the OEM suspension parts
Full Carbon imports exterior pieces (added on last photo)
RSNAV
Replaced every speaker with Audison/Hertz and sound deadened the living piss out of the vehicle
Power folding mirrors
Redmist Transmission Cooler
Anti gravity battery
AWE Touring exhaust
JHM inserts
Ambient lighting (tastefully done)
It’s a cruiser, no power adders to speak of. The soundtrack is glorious, and rather than brute power or speed, the theater of driving this car is just perfect. It checks all the boxes in a vehicle I’ve ever wanted. Cheers!
