New Member and Pics of My S5

[jhh127]

New here! Wanted to post some pictures of my S5 with some initial mods. I picked the car up about 2 months ago and could not be happier. I absolutely love it! I have a ton of mods in store for this one and plan on keeping it as classy and OEM Plus as possible. I am loving what Audi has to offer for mods on these cars.

Want to give a huge shout out to Alex @ TAG Motorsports for completely hooking this up!

Current Mods:

H&R 1.2/1.3 inch drop
15mm spacers
20x9 Euro S5 wheels
265/30/20 Continental Tires
Euro S5 Ecodes

Coming soon:

LED tails, and cargraphic exhaust! Maybe full brembos shortly :yup:

The S5:

Do not really understand what the confusion is LOL

I am the first in the US with this S5 exhaust setup. Getting installed on Tuesday!

It would not be my choise the Cargraphic one, that's all.

After hearing it compared to the other options, I couldn't disagree with you more.

I HATE the sound of the Capristo exhaust, really not worth the $$ IMO

Beautiful. It's lowered 1.3 in front and 1.2 in rear? or vice versa. I'm wondering if I can achieve a similar look with the 19" Y-design wheels with slightly wider tires. I think the wheels are only 8.5 wide though, think it would work? Trying to get a little more unique and maybe some more presence, someone in town just bought one that is exactly the same. H&R coil over package or just the sport sping? Did you have to have 15mm spacers to fit those wheels? Does it effect the handling/ride quality?

Thank you,

Thanks! Its lowered 1.3 rear and 1.2 front. You would need to run spacers to get the wheels to fit flush. Mine are 20x9 and I am still running 15mm spacers. Thinking about maybe even doing 20mm all the way around. I have not noticed anything different with handling other than it is a little bit better in the corners. Lastly, it is just slightly harsher on bumps and such.

Awesome!

Thank you,

Hi,

I just imported a S5 Sportback. I have the exact same wheel configuration as you (same tire size and brand too). I too have H&R lowering sport springs installed. My question is that my car weighs almost 200kg more I think. So, if I am to get 15mm spacers all round will the tires rub? Do yours rub?

Congrats!

No - with 265/30/20 Continentals I did not rub and I eventually went slammed on coilovers. You could even do a 20mm spacer if you want to run a 255/30/20 with a slight stretch.

However, I switched to Michelin PS2's eventually and yes I rubbed a lot.

Hi,

Thanks heaps for replying.

I'm just worried about the extra weight that the sportback has over the coupe. With the same given springs I'm sure my car is sitting a little lower than yours when you were on H&R. Should I play safe with 10mm or just go for the 15mm? If you are sure it won't rub then I'll go for the 15mm. And I forgot to mention I'm changing my rims to BBS 20" CH-R...it's 20 X 9" ET 25...I'm keeping the continental 265/30/20 tires.
