i think he wants to see pictures of it up, but when it looks so good down, why need it?

i think i like your wagon more than mine

yeah I didnt even bother taking any pictures of it all up

I raise it less then the inch up front for dayly drive put to level it out with the back I have to run like 90 pounds out back. it drives great like that as long as you are in the front seat

I am going for a second photo session with the same dude but for rolling shots sometime this week on the highway so stay tune I will try to take it as low as it will go
(my car doesnt get lower then 40psi in the front)

90psi in the rear bags? Damn, must be a real stiff ride. I usually ride with 35-40psi. if I have 90psi in the bags the ride is just awful.
Ohhhhh and btw. I also have 40psi left in the bags when the car is slammed in the front

LOL, at 35-40 PSI in the back cars sits same as 0psi in the back. 90psi will start to show about 10mm of tire rest is still tucked

Must be because we are running different bags.

I have the UAS Air House bags.

Re: (Grig85)

OK well I have a small little update. I have figured out the problem with uncomfort up front. washer has sunk into the top mount plate.

this is what it looked like when we lifter the car in the air and deflated the bags.


knowtice how the washer is inside the cup now, it suppose to be before the cup.
I used oversized washer to hold pieces together and slid a polyt bushing to smooth things out and keep the top of the bag form constant rubbing on the washers and bending them into the plate like it happened last time. I know this all might sound confusing but I hope its clear enough to understand.


BTW, that poly piece plays no part in how low the car can get, my upper control arms buttom out at 40psi.

and I lost a6, 2.8, and quattro badges looks much better this way

Hey Erik looking good man, i think next step is to cut the body for the control arms, i just checked on a new S5 they have it cut out with a plastic cup covering it, i dont know whats the purpose audi did that but its looks like it is easy to do.
