Hi guys, being new to the world of the b6 i'm looking to go a bit lower. I bought a 2004 1.8t (190) quattro s line and i love it. Just needs to sit a bit closer to the road. its on 18's at the moment but i have 19's to be fitted and i've been looking at these http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&k=s&p=SKG70AVB00K and was interested in how low it would sit with them fitted, has anyone got a set fitted or a pic? Thanks in advance. :D

What 18's & what are your Plans with them once the 19's are on? ;);)

I'm sure i could give them a good home for the right price :D

the 18's are rs4's 19's are rs6 was planing on a refurb then possible sale of the 18's. There bubbling a bit, previous owner was using acid to clean them by the looks of it. need to find out about them springs to see how they sit first. might end up with eibachs like i had on a b5 few years back.

I would be very interested in those wheels if you do upgrade to 19's. I'd like to take them off you Pre-Refurb if that was OK with you though, that way it saves you money and i can get them done by a place near me that is very reasonable.

We get garages down here in BIrmingham that specialise in part worns, good brands aswell with 4/5mm of tread...you'd pay 30 for 18 and 40 for 19, gets you out of the soft and smelly somtimes looool.
