Default Very nice! What suspension are you running?

And I'm assuming those are 17" RS4 reps...what size tires? Looks really nice...I'm going for the same look on my coupe if I can find/make a set in 4x108.

Default KYB's with B&G springs front and rear. Great ride. And yes, those...

are 17" RS4's (Italian copies---about 400 apiece that i got for 450 shipped for all 4 from a guy in conn. because they were bent. cost me about 300 to have them all straightened, so i still came out on top. tires are 215/45/17 falken ze512's will do 225's next time.

Default Yeah, it wasn't pretty. Took a long time and scrubbing to get all the "deer schmutz" off...

It ripped part of her lower section out, by the lumps of flesh. Hit her right behind the right front leg, flipped her up and over the car. I am sure she just rolled off into the ditch and died, if she wasn't killed instantly. Feel bad for her, but freakin' dumbass deer that just run out onto the highway, ya know? Not much you can say.
