Default How long have you had the new shocks/springs? Long enough to settle yet?

That's about the ride height I'm looking for, but I think I may just go for some coilovers eventually. Looks great by the way!

Default Looking Good!

Nice clean wheels. Can you fit an Audi center cap? That would be t*ts!

How do you like the ride on the Neuspeeds and FSD's? I have the FSD's with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and it's a little bouncey and I have a little more gap than you. Seems to be underdamped. I'll be going with Vogtland CO's in a month or so. Had them sitting in the garage over the winter.

Do the O-ring fix and it should take care of the fogging problem. I had the same problem, now fixed. #6 O-ring, Home Depot SKU #96723. I also put some plastic plugs in the adjustment hole to help keep water out of the adjuster screws on the lights. No issues for over 6 months now.

Default Awesome...thanks for the O ring part number!! What plastic plugs did you use?

The ride so far with the Neuspeeds and FSD's is a bit softer than the stock sport. I like the ride height a lot and as long as it's not any harsher than stock sport I'll be very happy.

I think the stock B7 RS 4 caps may fit, so I plan to test fit a set that RASTA4 has. Just need to get them from him.
