Picked up an SQ5 a few weeks ago to replace the wife's aging Cayenne and immediately had all sorts of plans for it. I wanted it lower, I wanted it wider, but had to keep it relatively tame since it is her daily. So the upgrades started right after delivery. Here is a quick list of mods:

KW V2 Coilovers
Alu Kreuz
SPC Control Arms
21x10.5 AG590 Brushed Gunmetal Bespoke III Custom Offset
Yoko Advan Sport 295/35/21
Caractere Flares (custom trimmed for OEM bumper)
Dynavin DVN-A5 headunit
Veyron V-Link MirrorLink
Euro Sunvisors

A few people to thank that contributed to all this:

Jason @GetYourWheels - worked with me patiently as we figured out the offsets and custom finish
Alex @TAGMotorsports - helped me to source the Caractere parts quickly
The guys @USPMotorsports - supplied various suspension pieces

And of course my old man and the guys @MRAutoClinic. I keep coming up with stuff and they spend a crazy amount of time to carefully install everything. They do their magic on my E30 M3 race car, my IS-F and now the SQ5. Couldn't do any of this without their help. Now on to the pics...

Parked at home:




Lowered:





And here are the pics with it all installed...






















And here are some close-ups of the wheels. I've been running HRE and ADV1 on all my cars in recent years but I have to admit that these are great looking wheels for the money. GetYourWheels gives you the option of custom offsets and custom finishes and the AvantGarde wheels and the cost for all 4 was pretty close to what 1 ADV1 wheel cost me. Can't beat that and if the wife curbs it, I won't cry about it.

 

Looks great. wheels and suspension mods make so much difference.

 

Looks good!!!

 

Great transformation. The lowering & wheels gave it a more sporty look.


I did the same with the R8,lowered & wheels.

 

cool DD!

 

That is the most badass SQ5 I've seen yet! Love it!
Thanks for letting us be a part of the build!
