Beautiful ...... BTW, I found on the internet Qtower ski rack for A4 48" bars, will these bars fit OK on A8?

Thanks,

Default The tower and bars will fit, but you may need to buy different adaptors for the towers to the car.

They aren't very expensive.

Thanks! Even with the sotck 16" wheels and snow tires, the H&amp;Rs really improve the look!

Default es geaThe only problem with the A8 is

when it canges from first to second and you lose the diferential locks
And you are in the midle of a powerslide , for a sec or 2 you lose control until the car locks the difs and you can continue trough the corner.

A manual or a 100% lock stoping the car from changeing gears would be perfect.

why does it call out for 58" in Yakima, do the bar stick out more to the side with the 58"?
