Yesterday’s post described the arrival of the newest Ohlin’s SL coil over kit from STaSIS Engineering. Today we had the opportunity to install the kit on Chris’ B7 S4, a certified pre-owned purchase from Barrier Audi. The interesting part though, is that the purchase and installation of this coil over kit was arranged through Barrier Audi. That’s right, the cost of the parts and installation was built into the purchase of this vehicle!!

Chris does not live in Washington so Barrier Audi dropped the car off on Wednesday evening for the installation of the suspension and 19″ B7 HRS4 – 252 wheels the following day. Work was started today at Achtuning, the STaSIS suspension went in smoothly and the car was finished up in about 4 hours.

Chris wanted the car a bit lower than stock but not too low Chris will be flying into Seattle to pick up his S4 and drive it 1,200 miles back to home over the weekend. Thanks Chris, we wish you a safe and enjoyable drive home!

Dave stopped by yesterday searching for new wheels for his MkV R32, he hadn’t planned on a wheel purchase this soon but a large rock ended up helping his decision, ouch! On the plus side Dave was able to show off his manly tire changing skills to his girlfriend

Having no luck finding replacement MkV R32 wheels locally he stopped by our shop and eventually decided to go with the Hartmann B7 HRS4 – 252 wheels in 18″ as he wanted to keep his tires which were still in good condition.

In the end Dave was happy to have the new wheels on the car, the Hartmann wheels were each about half the price of an OEM replacement wheel from VW plus he saved over 11 lbs. by going with the RS4 reps!

Nash really wanted to do a STaSIS BBK on his Audi A3 2.0T, unfortunately finding a wheel that clears a big brake kit in the high offset to fit the A3 was going to necessitate using custom 3 piece Work wheels which were a bit out of the budget at the moment.

In the end he decided to leave the brakes alone and go with 18″ B7 RS4-styled Hartmann 252 wheels with some Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires. The ET 47 wheels were chosen to avoid rubbing and a 5mm H&R spacer was used in the rear to even the look out with the fronts.
