Default A8L's first pic with new sneaks and S8 suspension

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/66318/s8_suspension_and_new_sneakers.jpg"></center><p>Love the setup. Car feels lighter, more nimble. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick... :-)

Need to dig into the right side though. Right front and rear are almost an inch off? Left side is very close front and rear. Is there an easy way to check if the spring is correctly positioned?

I had it done at a Maryland independent shop, and not that excited about taking the car back and getting any more new scratches !!!

Very nice. Did you add an S8 swaybar as well?

Default Looks great! Anything else you swapped for the upgrade?

S8 shocks and springs, and while at it, replaced all front control arms. (eom)

Default Get the 20mm rear bar. Highly recommended, it makes a huge difference.

Not sure what to make of the height mismatch.

Default Just so you know, you don't have to put "(eom)" at the end of each subject, the "NT" box lets people

know that you haven't typed anything else. For example, this message does not have the NT box, so that means I have a message other than the subject line. I'm assuming "eom" means "end of message"?

JimA8 IS "(eom)" - it's kinda been his personal trademark, for years!... :-)
