Dan felt his Audi A6 sat too high. Even compared to the S-Line suspension packages on the dealer lot, he felt his A6 could stand to sit a touch lower. A call to Achtuning meant a purchase of H&R Streetsport Coil-overs. As one of the very affordable, entry-level coil-over kits for the C6 A6 on the market, H&R’s system offers a range of 1.2 to 2.2 inches and allows the A6 to stay firmly planted on all 4-corners, improving over-all handling.

H&R coil-over kits are very competitively priced in our online catalog. Check and see the incredible pricing we have to offer while shopping coil-overs for your car!

New from H&R and in-stock at Achtuning is their 40mm 5×100 to 5×130 adapter!

We also brought in the new 35mm version of 5×100 to 5×130 and 5×112 to 5×130 adapters. H&R’s 2010 catalog features several new items, all of which is being added to our online gallery as I write this. Achtuning stocks just about every VW/Audi spacer or adapter combination possible, even select BMW applications. Call us for your wheel spacing or adapting needs today!

… Chris brought back his e92 M3 to us to pick up a set of H&R spacers.   After doing a bit of homework, he learned that this particular combination of H&R springs and  factory18″ wheels and tires would allow at most a 12mm spacer both front and rear without having clearance issues.

Lookin’ sharp, Chris!

Kristian Decided that 19″ Hartmann HR8 MS wheels were the wheels he really wanted to complete the look on his A3. After saving his pennies he picked a set up and paired them with a set of 235-35-19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires.

After getting the HR8 MS wheels installed on his H&R coilover equipped A3 Kristian suspected that the ride quality may be reduced but found just the opposite “To my surprise the ride quality actually is BETTER than the Pirelli p6s even though I stepped up 2″ in wheel size. The ride is smoother, quieter, and has a LOT more grip.”

Thanks Kristian!

We still have a couple sets left of the Hartmann 269 wheels, and with a combined package price of $999 to include wheels and H&R adapters (5×100 to 5×120) it’s a tough deal to pass up if you’re looking to get that CSL-style wheel on your VW Mk4.

18×8″ and a final 22mm offset (adapters included) is certainly aggressive, but at the ride height Jim has this Mk4 it will definitely work. And damn it looks good!!

Brian has no interest in lowering his S-Line B8 A4 avant, and at its current ride height I don’t blame him. Used as a daily driver to haul around family or business associates, and already sitting on the S-Line’s 19×8.5″ wheels styled after the new RS6 wheel and Audi’s “sport suspension”, all he really needed was a bit of help from H&R with some 5mm spacers out back to make just the slightest bit of difference in over-all stance and appearance.

The H&R’s 5mm spacer is not hubcentric, meaning it doesn’t come with a lip for the wheel to evenly balance on, but then the hub’s lip is slightly thicker than the spacer so there is some room to center the wheel evenly on the Audi’s wheel hub lip.

To pep the car up a bit, Brian had us load APR’s ECU Upgrade, and just in time to take advantage of APR’s sale pricing where various octane-level programming options are installed for the price of a single-program burn! APR software is the best power per dollar modification for the new 2.0 TFSI Valve Lift and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits.

All-in-all, not much more has to be done to improve on this S-Line A4. Interior fit and finish is superb as always with the combination of brushed aluminum and alcantara suede.

What more could you ask for? Surely we can come up with something…

After a quick visit through our showroom and seeing pictures of a bagged Passat CC running a 20″ version of the Hartmann 446 Wheels in Europe, Brad selected our 19″ Hartmann 446 Wheels for his own.

The Hartmann 446 Wheels replicate a style found on an Audi Q7 and is a 5×130 bolt pattern so H&R 5×112 to 5×130 adapters were needed to make this particular package work. 245/35-19 Falken FK452s wrap the tires. The combination of Porsche’s high offset and H&R’s 20mm adapters made the fit just right for this CC!

We constantly preach stance, and Jeremy knew his 3.2L A5 suffered from a lack of… He was told to come to Achtuning to pick up some H&R spacers and based on 20mm and 25mm DRA spacers placed on previous A5s, Jeremy figured he’d do the same.

In this particular case however, a 20mm spacer up front was too much as the Goodyear tires mounted on the factory wheels were “meatier” and offered far less clearance behind the fender. Keeping with a 25mm DRA spacer in the back, 15mm spacers were selected up front this time to push the wheels out and provide that aggressive stance Jeremy was after without having tire to fender clearance issues. End result…

Casey and Nathan brought us their C5 A6 2.7T to receive a suspension upgrade courtesy of a set of H&R Race Springs. H&R’s springs bring the car’s height down about 1.9″ up front and 1.5″ out back, just the right amount for the car float right above its factory 18″ wheels and tires. They also took advantage of APR pricing and picked up an ECU upgrade while they were at it.

Car is looking much better guys! Congrats!!

Barrier Audi already has Certified Pre-Owned B8 Audi A4s on their lot. This one is getting a nice little treatment of suspension and wheels courtesy of H&R’s OE Sport Springs and Hartmann’s consistently popular HRS4-252B wheels. The OE Sport springs offer a mild 1″ drop. This particular configuration includes Hartmann’s 18″ version of the HRS4-252Bs with 245/40-18 tires.

Not a bad way to pick up a used, newer Audi A4 from the dealer…
