Dropping the R8 with the help of H&R
Written by Dion on February 9, 2009 – 10:02 am -It was an absolute pleasure to see the Audi R8 return after the STaSIS exhaust installed a week ago. Roman brought it back to us after we ordered in some lowering springs from H&R for him.
H&R’s lowering springs bring the R8′s front down .8″ and .9″ out back. Doesn’t sound like much but it’s not like the R8 has much room to come down as it is, however it’s just the right amount to bring the center of gravity down where it belongs.
The springs complement the factory magnetic shocks and the combination retains much of the stock comfort on surface streets. We’ll leave it up to Roman to report back about his track experiences and new handling characteristics with his new stance – absolutely STUNNING!!
List Price: $499 | Achtuning Price: $449

Tis the season for 19s…
Written by Dion on August 26, 2008 – 11:08 am -We were visited by three Pacific Northwest (vwvortex forum) members yesterday… They were here to pick up new sets of 19s for their Audis.
First, we have Mike and his beautiful wife Charlotte’s C5 A6 2.7T… Lowered on KW suspension, this car hugs the 19″ Hartmann G5 wheels so tightly, the tie rods are about to pop!
I hear Mike plans to bring the fronts down even more!!
Then we’ve got “Gaki”. Originally planning to go with a set of clearanced TSW wheels, he talked himself into our Hartmann line with the HR8 wheels in 19×8.5 and a 38mm offset. Lowered on STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs, the stance on this B7 A4 with the Hartmann HR8 wheels is just stunning. Good choice, Anthony.
