I've had a busy day

I've had a busy day at the workshop on Saturday. Amongst a number of services brakes mots etc I had to swap all the shocks and springs and all front arms on my brothers old A4 1.9 tdi. I'm really pleased with the result sits nicely and handles so much better. Not bad for a 16 year old car with 190k on her.

It's just one of those cars that we bought as a run around but it's such a good motor it deserved some love

Gav.

Agreed.

Given it looks good, just out of curiosity it would be interesting to see what lowered B5 Avant would look like with D1 S8s fitted.

A long shot admittedly, but has anyone such a photo ?

I'm sure it's been done I think a set of s4 17inch Avus would really suit this but on a budget the 16s were perfect..

I have a pic on my laptop . Anthracite mk1 s8 ' on an early a4 avant as above and my b8 a4 s line .
Both looked good

I fully appreciate and agree that the the car is on a secondary budget, rather than the primary budget / car, was just musing 'out loud'.

[Monkeymagic]

If it were mine I'd have gone for some boleros but my brother didn't have much disposable income at the time. The car was supposed to be a cheap almost "throw a way " car. But like many audis they get under your skin

They are a good compromise. I'm surprised how much they firm the ride up compared to the 16s though. Much much more of a difference than flicking between 17s and 18s on my B6
