Rainy season is the best time to drive my Audi A4. The way it handles is just amazing. The Stage 1 tune completely changed the car, and the BBS wheels with Michelin PS5 tyres give so much confidence even at three digit speeds. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Every drive puts a smile on my face, and the build quality is simply unmatched.
As the title suggests, my car currently sits like the photo below. It looks too high and almost has an SUV stance. I’m only looking for about a 20 mm drop, nothing aggressive. I already have Bilstein B4 struts installed. Which lowering springs would you recommend that pair well with them?
Thanks for the help :)
Need some help diagnosing a vibration issue on my Audi A4 B9.5
2021 40 TFSI.
No matter what I do, the wheels and tyres are not balancing properly. I have already done balancing 3 to 4 times on a high quality Hunter balancing machine and also checked alignment multiple times. Suspension is brand new, tyre pressures are equal, and the car drives perfectly fine at lower speeds.
But the moment I cross around 120 km/h, the whole car starts vibrating badly. Also installed PFS hubcentric rings that came with BBS wheels.
Road force balancing is unfortunately not available anywhere in my area.
Setup:
• Audi A4 B9.5 2021 40 TFSI
• BBS CH-R 18" wheels
• Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres
• Upsized from stock 225/50/R17 to 245/40/R18
• This tyre size is also mentioned on the door sticker, so fitment should be fine

My mechanic says the pads will be fine for the next 10,000 KMs so no need to worry. I dont feel any vibration while braking. Is this wear normal? Do i need to change the pads?

Currently running 17” BBS SR with 225/50 PS5s on my Audi A4 B9.5, but thinking of upgrading to 18” BBS CHR with 245/40 setup
The PS5s are brand new and ride quality is amazing, but the 17s honestly look a bit too small/thin on the car. Especially from some angles, the wheel gap and overall stance just don’t feel aggressive enough.
Getting around $1,270 for just wheels, while the CHRs will cost me around $2,860.
Should I upgrade or keep the 17s for now? Really confused lol
Audi A4 B9.5 40 TFSI FWD Stage 1 Tuned.
Finally went Stage 1 on my Audi A4 B9.5 and the difference is insane. The car now feels completely alive with much quicker acceleration, stronger mid range pull, and instant throttle response.
Stock Power:
190 HP
320 Nm
Stage 1 Power:
Approx. 240 HP
400 Nm
0 to 100 km/h now feels close to the 6 second range and highway pulls are on another level.
Overtakes feel effortless.
Mods currently installed:
• Stage 1 ECU Tune
• 034 Motorsport P34 Intake
• 034 Front Resonator Delete
The turbo sounds are much louder now with clean spool and woosh sounds..
Honestly, this is how the car should have come from factory.
