whats up? any pics?

[Ski10804life]

No pics yet i just picked it up tuesday and been working like mad, i will hav epics up the weekend of June 5th, i am having it detailed that wensday the 3rd. I got a really good deal on some 18x8 privat netz with tires only have like 198 miles on them. I was nervous do you guys here in the Audi world think 18's are to small, im also nervous the wheel gap will still look rediculous. The only things that are dont is a unitrinics chip, diverter valve, new headlights, blacked otu sidemarkers and tails, trunk lip, everything else is black also from grills to audo badges, also has the ultra sport front bumper

welcome

Thanks, new wheels should be coming in tomarrow afternoon. Then detail and pics this weekend. Anyone know what size wheel spacers for fron and rear to use for a set of 18X8 wheels on my car. Also anyone know where to find a decent suspension for reasonable price, but wont sacrifice a smooth ride i just wnat to get rid of that huge wheel gap lol.

When you're ready for a Unitronic chip, let me know!

[Ski10804life]

I already have the unitronic chip, The guy i bought it from had the chip, anotehr DV, ultrasport bumper, all blacked out tint, batdges tails ect, new head lights. Just bought a set of 18x8 privat netz, wanted 19's but could'nt pass up the deal i got. The rims and tires only had 198 miles on them for $600 so i had to jump on it. 18's wont look to small will they. But im looking for not a cheaply made suspension system but one thats not going to clear out my bank account and wont sacrifice the ride quality. I'm only 24 right out of college so i can afford 2 grand right now.

[John@20squared]

Wheels with no suspension isn't going to look go, no matter what size wheels you're running. Get a set of coils on there before you throw the wheels on, for SURE!

[Ski10804life]

I dont have enough coin right now, i meen i do but i need to save for a house and stuff, plus the gf would get mad (go ahead laugh guys haha) lol, i was thinking of doing that combo on AWE the bilstein shocks and H&R springs, any idea of those are good?

[John@20squared]

Nothing wrong with springs, but 95% of people that I see going with a spring/shock combo in the beginning, end up selling them at a loss for a set of coilovers a few months down the road, after they aren't happy with the height of their car. With that said, a spring/shock combo is going to set you back around $700, when a coilover setup will run you just a little bit more. If you say to yourself, "I don't want to go 'low' though," then a.) coilovers are adjustable quite a decent range as I'm sure you know and b.) after going to a couple VW/Audi shows and hanging around the VW/Audi community, you'll want to go 'low' or at least 'low-er' then a spring/shock combo can get you. Just some food for thought as you make your decisions.

Thanks man, those are good points. Well everyone i just got my Privat Netz yesterday and they are ruined thanks to UPS. At least 25% of east lip on the rim is bashed, dented, and scratched not to mention three of the wheels came to me with the packing wide open. Some @$$hole prolly through them around, they better be giving me my full amount back for those dam rims.

[John@20squared]

Good luck. Our dealing with UPS claims are long and aggravating.

[Ski10804life]

Yeah, if they dont get back to me about it anyone interested in some rims that need work (privat netz) and brand new tires for cheap?

[fakeblood316]

idk, I had a set of taillights that got messed up from ups. They asked for a reciept, faxed it to them and they cut me a check.

[Ski10804life]

You are the first one out of many that have actually told me somthing positive about there claim, everyone else said they got screwed
