BreedsAs, I didn't even notice you that you were lacking the sport suspension until you mentioned it above. I just lowered mine with the same springs as you and I have the sport suspension. I thought sport suspension was standard on the S5? I must be wrong, Shhhh don't tell my wife.
You are correct the ride is almost the same as stock. I am very please with this as I have installed springs on past cars and the results were a Go Cart type ride.

I have bit updated my build thread in a while so here's a few things.
1. XPEL was applied on about the first half of the hood, the door handle cups, the door edges, and the rear bumper area right below the hatch.
​​​​​​2. A thick and charcoal colored PPF was also applied over the front sidemarkers in the headlights. I was not about to dish out $4k for European lights that just have a different sidemarker color.
3. The black mirror caps were installed.
4. A carbon fiber shifter was installed to match the other CF trim. It completed the look.

Next week, the black optic front end pieces will be installed.
Later in Novembe, a customer subwoofer enclosure will also be installed.
Should be a good month!

My brother does carbon layup for a living (road bikes) and that is INSANE. That part probably costs about 5-10 dollars to make and a most could be sold for $50 if auto enthusaists werent so ignorant to the cost of carbon.

Also for 400 bucks that layup is a little sloppy (angle of the weave) doesnt look bad but could be better.

The whole carbon fiber across the dash is priced at $500 by Audi, and this little piece is 400? Outrageous
