Been tuned since October

Haven't decided on an exhaust yet though, being in Knoxville I'm kind of at a disadvantage in regards to hearing different set-ups in person. I've only heard the APR system so far, but hopefully after a few more exterior mods, I'll eventually come to a conclusion on an exhaust.

 

Finally had a chance to get the KW's and BFI spacers installed:

 

well done a great car - i have an s5 and love it to death!!!

 

Congrats! This thread has been here for a while, but nice to see progression. I'm in the waiting process right now...no longer a 3 month wait

 

Looks good!

 

Well, the wait finally came to an end and my Rotiforms arrived. Had the wheels mounted a little over a week ago, and couldn't be happier with the outcome! Big thanks to Brian @ Rotiform for all the help and answering all my questions along the way. I know the wheels might not be for everyone, and the style is certainly different, but they look terrific on the car and the fit/finish is phenomenal. Excuse the iPhone pictures, awaiting the arrival of my Nikon D3100. Anyways, enough talk, the pictures and details:

Suspension

Yes, you're reading that correct, 23.35 lbs for a 20x10 []



On the lift (knew I should have gone with those 24's....)





Mounted on the car:









Fitment:

There is a slight rub in the rear over hard bumps, but no rubbing during daily driving (with only me in the car). I might go a little bit lower all around, and possibly add a spacer in the front, but I'm very happy with the way the car looks right now. If I decide to go lower, I'll most likely end up rolling the fenders.









Found this bonus picture online, someone managed to catch me rolling into Import Alliance in Atlanta:

 

I just test drove a 2011 S4 in Ibis White yesterday. Fantastic interior, and much better handling than my previous B7 S4.

You have a very nice car. Are the KWs adjustable? I wonder if they're just a tiny bit too low right now. And I would really worry about scratching those beautiful new wheels you got.

But everything looks great. Congratulations.

 

Thank you! I'm coming from both a B6 S4, and a B7 A4, and I definitely agree with you. Audi did a phenomenal job with the new interior, and I really like the power compared to my previous B6 (as well as improved gas mileage).

The KW's are V3's so they are fully adjustable, both in height and rebound/compression dampening. The wheels are pretty close, and I've had the lips already hit the inside of the fenders but lucked out with no damage. The car really only gets driven on the weekends, so I think I'm going to just leave the height where it is, and maybe throw a very small spacer on the front. Thanks for the compliments though!

How do you like your ADV.1 wheels? If/when I move on from these wheels, I've been considering a set from their track spec line, curious as to how your experience with them went.

 

The ADVs are great. They're heavier than the stock R8 wheels, but when you go up a size and move from one-piece to 3-piece, the weight's bound to go up also. I have no complaints, and the best part is the style that I got is rarely seen on R8s (or any other car for that matter) because most guys prefer the mesh design ADVs and HREs out there, it seems. But your current wheels look amazing, so there's really no point in changing them to something else.
