    Well I'm starting to personalize the Audi a bit.

    First up on the mods Bilstein PSS10's

    I was pretty skeptical at first as I had PSS9's on my 03 Audi RS6 I would have probably preferred KW's on that one, took the leap on the PSS10's and have to say I'm extremely happy with the decision to go with the PSS10's on the B8 S4.

    Take a look.

    The PSS10's:

    Fronts out

    The dial is a huge improvement over the PSS9's

    The fronts are in (just about)

    After a few miles the car settled and we had to adjust it a few times to get it right, I experienced some rubbing with 3 in the car so we raised it and took the front wheel liner bolt off.

    After shot with final adjustments and Menzerna Power Lock

    domino Welcome to Detailing

    nice buy!!

    ive been running PSS9s on my M3 for 2 years now, and the ride is just about perfect (incl. sways)

    i hear ya on the KWs, they are undoubtedly the coilover to have for euro cars these days - but ill be going back to japanese coilovers on my next car. Ive been having alot of problems with the PSS9s on the front because they re-use the oem upper mounts

    Phil me thinks it is time for some BBS tightness to replace the stock wheels(RSGT/CH-R) would do the trick. I am so jealous of that car...........

    You will see really improvements with this pss10 kit. I had mine at 10 and on approx 112 mph on the very lite turn, the DSC has not stop the gas. But if you will setup on 10, there will be no comfort in town if you use the car daily :)

    Very nice Phil. I have the PSS10 on my mkV R32 and it transformed the car.
