225hp Mk1 Audi TT gets some APR and Stasis lovin’

Written by Dion on June 3, 2009 – 12:59 pm -

John’s Audi TT received a good deal of upgrades courtesy of an APR 3″ turbo-back exhaust and Stasis Streetsport suspension.

The turbo-back exhaust is a completely stainless-steel, mandrel-bent system that looks stunning beneath John’s car. At idle it has a nice low tone, deeper than stock. Once you hit the throttle though the car really makes its presence known.

Go Wide

Written by Dion on May 29, 2009 – 3:01 pm -

Go wide with H&R spacers… Nathan did! He brought back his B7 Audi A4 to push out the Titanium Package wheels out to improve the stance with his new suspension upgrade, courtesy of Stasis Streetsport coil-overs.

10mm and 15mm H&R DR-style spacers were commissioned front and rear respectively and the end result is just about as aggressive as it’ll get with the current stance… Me likes!!

Stasis Streetsports

Written by Dion on May 14, 2009 – 10:00 am -

We wrapped up the Stasis Streetsport Coil-Over install on Nathan’s A4 last night. After the springs settle we’ll take a look and see how far the wheels can get pushed out with some H&R spacers as Nathan likes the Titanium Package 18″ wheels that came with the car but wants a more aggressive stance.

“B” is for Baller-icious!

Written by Dion on April 28, 2009 – 10:15 am -

When Rob picked up his TDI Jetta he came to me with a plan that was set in motion long before he even took delivery of the car. Taking me aside once and showing me a picture of a particular Jetta in Europe running Bentley wheels he said, “I’m gonna do something like this…” It was a matter of a week or two at most before Rob received a set of OEM Bentley wheels measuring 19×9 with a 41mm offset in chrome.

Chrome is something rarely embraced in the local euro-scene but Rob was prepared to go against the norm and show he wasn’t afraid to run a different look we typically don’t see. While many are quick to ditch the chrome trim around the windows, grill and bumpers Rob saw those as accents to help tie in the chrome wheels he knew he wanted. He picked up a set of chrome mirror caps too. The only other concern we had was fitment.

Special-ordering a set of 215/35-19 Falken FK452s and stretching them on Rob’s 9″ wide wheels was a necessary call since the 19s would already take up a lot of space in the Mk5 fenders. While it’s a sacrifice to some ride comfort Rob reports it has been riding surprisingly well. And I have to admit, the stretch looks fantastic!

Prior to installation, Rob had prepared the Jetta’s fenders and had them rolled so extra clearance would allow the wheel and tire combo to fit. (I hear a local vortex kid is a whiz at fender rolling – contact us if you ever need to get a hold of him.) Once that was done, we had one thing left to do before we could mount the wheels to the car…

Stasis Streetsport Coil-Overs brought the high-flying Jetta TDI back to ground level in order to hug the 19×9 Bentley wheels. Comfort was a huge factor for Rob since this is his daily driver and the reputation of Stasis coil-overs made the choice a no-brainer. We just weren’t sure how low we’d be able to bring down the suspension in order to clear wheels and tires – turns out, we were able to go all the way! The end result is a rather amazing stance for a Mk5 Jetta sitting on 19×9″ wheels – and a TDI at that!

Congrats on the new look Rob! I love it!!

Doctor always recommends Stasis

Written by Dion on April 17, 2009 – 4:17 pm -

Jarvis left us his B7 A4 with us this morning. With chronic nose-bleed issues related to high altitude, four out of five doctors recommend Stasis Streetsport Coil-Overs for the prescribed suspension treatment. Side effects may include, but are not limited to tight cornering, reduced body roll, excessive looks from jealous bystanders, constant profiling by your local five-O . . . or something to that effect. End result:

Brian was also prescribed with the same diagnosis and once treatment was completed, he came by for his check-up so we could see how well he has come along.

Individual results may vary.

APR treatment for Audi B7 A4 2.0T

Written by Dion on April 2, 2009 – 4:02 pm -

Chris drove down from Vancouver, BC and left us his Audi B7 A4 to get some work done. Chris had us install the Stasis Streetsport Coil-Overs , APR Snub Mount , and APR turbo-back exhaust while taking in some of the local sights.

We hope to see Chris return later for some Hartmann Wheels to compliment his new stance – only time will tell!

Avant in the tropics

Written by Dion on November 25, 2008 – 1:20 pm -

Then there’s Andrew in Hawaii…

He had contacted me about a month ago talking about the different things he wanted to do to his B7 Audi S-Line A4 Avant. He had settled on some Hartmann HRS4 – 252 HB wheels in a 19×8.5″ size and 38mm offset. We sent the wheels wrapped with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires in a 235/35-19 properly mounted and balanced so Andrew would be able to bolt the new wheels to his car immediately after opening the packaging. He was kind enough to send us the pictures he took with the new wheels.

To improve the stance and handling, Andrew called us back to order up a set of STaSIS Streetsport Coil-overs , a pair of H&R 8mm spacers , and an OEM RS4 rear sway bar we picked up from Barrier Audi. He also added the Carbonio Cold Air Intake to the order and we heard the items safely reached the tropics. We look forward to more updates and progress pictures from Andrew as this Avant progresses into one mean grocery getter!
