Yeah, he definitely looks a bit lower than the red one. Hmmmm... still a very cool car though but I wouldn't lower it if I had one. Unless of course I was at a track

Working on new springs for all 4 corners
The suspension on the White A4 is not stock. The standard S-Line drops the car by about 20mm, and this adds as much as another 1.5" of drop for the car.
In the pictures you see, I am running Toyo R888 tires, in a 265x30x10 size. That's 10mm wider than stock for an S-Line, with a 5mm smaller sidewall than stock.
Even running pretty hard at Laguna Seca, there was never a time when the tires rubbed inside the fender wells. So, it is an amazing, yet tight fit within the fender walls. I'm continueing to work with the guys at Stasis to get the suspension dialed in. The current configuration is ideal for tracking the car, but it's too low for everyday driving. We're working on a compromise that will still solve the camber problem, provide slightly more ride height, and also still allow me to capitalize on the virtues of Audi Drive Select. Expect to see a solution to this problem some time in the next month.

It's our rainy season...
So it's pretty hard, and sometimes a bit tough to spend a good portion of the day detailing the car, only to have it rain, and ruin all the hard work.
For now, I'm afraid that I only have pictures of the car at the track, going through corners. If you think about it, it's not such a bad deal to only have pictures of the car at several of America's best race tracks. That's a problem I'm happy to live with until April, when the rain stops.

Curious why you say it's too low for daily driving...
Compared to other cars i've owned and lowered, my A4 seems to have alot of ground clearance after a pretty aggressive drop. I only scraped once (luckily no damage) and that was because I was driving through a parking lot looking for a spot and didn't notice a speed bump. Otherwise, I haven't scraped entering or exiting driveways, regardless how steep. Have you had any specific problems or just being cautious?
