He is a maniac in the snow. It gets him all fired up, which is great right before bed. :\

Default Cool. The part I'm most impressed with is the bottom.
I've seen a lot of people have ripples down there. Yours you can even notice. One of the best jobs I've seen.

Thanks. I haven't done anything with the bottom, the sides are my focus.

Default Nice. It's a great kit ... you'll love it. Surprised with your initial ride heights though ...
Most MTM setups I've seen were lower in rear that front, and almost all under 25 ¼". My rear started right at 25" IIRC and is at around 24.85" now (60k miles).

Hi WindyCityS4,

So i take it you are in the Chicago area. Actually saw a car like yours on 41 the other day. Was wondering where you got your MTM chip from ?

Cheers for any help.

The rear should not be lower than the front on the B5 S4.

Default Measured ground-to-fender ... it will be, even stock.
It's a function of the wheelhouse/fender arch design, which is slightly lower in rear if looked at on a plane from front-to-rear in profile. In other words, the design of the car, stylistically, introduces a natural slight rear-biased rake.
