Default I've been looking into A4's...
But the 90 is such a good running car I just can't justify getting rid of it. The car barely gives me any grief.

Heavens no, the Vogtlands/Bilstein Sports mentioned in the post were used to raise it 1.5" ;-)

Default The Stasis 12V just dyno'd at around 200 WHP at a Eurotuner event.
I'd say they were probably sand-bagging, but it was a lot lower than I expected compared to the modded S4s that were run on the same dyno. There was some mention of a bad clutch...

I don't see the article online, but this month's issue had the dyno and 1/4 mile results. Next month will be the on-track results.

do you think an 17" x 8.5" 13et wheel will work on a lowered sedan?

Default Mine in the pic are 17x8.5 35ET and 38ET would be better. 13ET? No way...
the outer edge of the tire would be almost 1" (25mm) outside the widest edge of the rear fender lip.

The left rear from ground to fender well sits 3/8" taller than the right rear? What can cause this?
