Ohlins upgrade
Stock suspension with 17x8.5 ET35 SSR Comps with 225/45ZR17 tires.

STaSIS Motorsports set at around 25.5" with 18x8.5 ET35 SSR GT2s with 235/40ZR18 tires. No rubbing on normal streets with stock fenders.

Behind the firewall reservoirs and Odyssey PC925 minus 20lbs mod. I bought a couple of bling custom PC925 welded trays, but neither was a good fit so ended up settling for $5 in McGuckin's car department parts -- one-size fits all rubber tie down and 8" J-bolts. Tons of extra space behind that firewall now -- what to do?

Action shot -- Ernie killing the bogus+seized stock rear sway links. OE Metal links > OE plastic with goofy allen wrench bolts! BTW, got the HD rear sway links for $29/ea at blauparts.com overnighted for $24. Was quoted $140/ea plus two weeks time at the local Audi dealer for the exact same OE part number.

A big thanks to Brian at Avalon for his patience and first rate customer service as I window shopped the STaSIS Motorsports for close to a year, and to master Audi tech Ernie DeVita who recently launched Peak Eurosport in the Denver area. As expected it was an excellent install even though it meant his working late on a Friday night to get 'er done for the DATR show this past weekend.
