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.

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.

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!

After swapping out H&R springs for a set of Stasis Streetsport Coil-Overs , Colin stopped by as promised so we could update our gallery with his new stance!

Car is coming along nicely!!

6 months is a long time when you’re anticipating the delivery of a new car purchase but Joel knew what he wanted and was willing to do what it took to get into this 2009 Jetta Wagon TDI. He was the first to receive a manual version of the TDI Variant in Washington State and we are very happy for him!

Joel dropped off his TDI this morning for a STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Over Kit install which he intends to follow later with a 19″ wheel purchase when funds permit. In the meantime, the coil-overs bring the center of gravity down so Joel can take some “spirited” turns with confidence and reduced body roll. Much of the factory comfort is still retained despite the performance suspension upgrade.

With its new stance this Jetta Variant TDI is sittin’ proper! We can only imagine how much better it will look once we have some of our 19s on there…

The new RS6 sports some fantastic-looking wheels with a unique tri-split spoke design, and we’ve now had a chance to install our similarly designed Hartmann HRS6 – 204 Wheels on both a B6 and B7 Audi A4 – I could not be happier with the results!  At 19×8.5 inches and a 38mm offset, the stance is perfect.  Both cars below have been lowered with STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs.

RS6-style Hartmann 204 Wheel:

• 5×112

• 19×8.5, 38mm offset – $295 per wheel

Nick was itching for a new look to his Zender-equipped Mk5 GTI. At the recommendation of Ryan@FineTuning , he stopped by to take a gander at our wheel display so he could get an up-close-and-personal look at his options. He also had his heart set on some Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires to wrap around a set of 19″ wheels. Once the Hartmann HRS4-252-SS was selected, we suggested that he order in a set of 225/35-19s from Tire Rack and we’d take care of the mounting and balancing since he was buying wheels from us – all he had to do was let us know when to expect tires and we were pretty much all set.

Well, tires arrived and an appointment was set up to get wheels installed – but that wasn’t enough! Nick knew that throwing on a set of 19s would in fact change the look to his car, but he wasn’t completely convinced that wheels-only would do the trick, especially after checking out a few cars in our gallery. At the last minute, Nick pulled the trigger and asked us to throw on some STaSIS Streetsport Coilovers while we were at it. Likely a good decision in the end, as Nick’s GTI is now sittin’ proper on our 19×8.5 wheels.

Congrats, Nick! (and thanks Ryan!!) Be sure to come back when we have some daylight to snap more pictures – especially after you complete the kit.

After a few weeks in the shop, we installed the STaSIS 4:1 center differential on my B6 S4. The stock differential provides 2:1 torque distribution, with the modified STaSIS unit we’re able to provide 4:1 just like the B7 RS4.

I have not had a chance to take the car to an HPDE yet, but I have noticed an immediate difference coming out of the apex of a corner. Typically when you’re exiting, the car begins to under-steer; with the diff the moment you begin to under-steer the power is transferred from the front to the rear and we can neutralize some of this under-steer.

There has been no odd behavior from ESP or ABS. The only thing I’ve noticed post-diff has been some Quattro binding at low speed turning, such as in parking lots.

This modification is available for 5 and 6 speeds, manual A4/S4s.

The install was simple, expect approximately one hour for the install and reinstall. Start by disconnecting the center drive-shaft. The drive-shaft is held in by six allen key head bolts, be careful not to strip these. We heated the bolts with MAAP gas to loosen and burn off any Loctite.

Once the bolts are out, the Torsen housing can be removed, and the differential can be removed. Slide in your new unit, refill the transmission fluid (it’s shared with center diff) and you should be good to go!

Jason drove down from Vancouver, BC in his B7 Audi S4 on his way to this weekend’s Quattrofest 2008 event in Portland, Oregon. Prior to his track event though, he stopped here at Achtuning to purchase the STaSIS Ohlins SL Sport Suspension and Alcon Monobloc 4 – 355 Big Brake System to improve the handling and braking characteristics of his already well-performing S4 and enhance his track experience.

Stock B7 S4 suspension performs well but as Jason is an avid track enthusiast, the STaSIS Ohlins SL Sport Suspension would offer quicker reaction times and stability when cornering at high speeds, all the while retaining stock-like comfort for daily street driving.

And certainly braking could not be left alone as Jason prefers to wait for the very last possible moment before standing on the brakes and carrying out his high-speed turns on the track. The Alcon 4-piston calipers surrounding 355mm slotted rotors will give him the right amount of balanced braking power and heat dissipation for confident, last-second braking.

Have a fun and safe weekend, Jason and thank you for the opportunity!

The STaSIS Streetsport Suspension is ACHTUN!NG’s most popular coil-over setup and we’re dropping the price so even more of you can get in on the deal! This kit is by far the best “bang-for-buck” coil-over kit on the market and offers superior ride quality and comfort despite its performance characteristics.
