Air or Static?

[StatusRacing]

Without reading this thread, I'll offer my advice.

Do you want to be this guy:



Or this guy:




That's the difference between air and static.




(I kid, I kid!! I've seen some awesome cars on bags.)

brand cialis

I just turned 53 young, not so old, huh, and have been suffering from erectile dysfunction for more than 8 years. Different techniques and medications did not help me or were useful just for a while and then the problem returned. Only with Brand Cialis I could obtain a perfect intercourse and reliable effect. I was enough hard and it lasted for long to never complain about. Libido and intensive climaxes were much better with Kamagra than any other medicine

Dusty Nice advant.. Liking the stance.. How do you like the V2's with the adjustable dampening?

As far as I know its the same crossmember.
The oilpan however I´m abit uncertain of. From what I can remember the 2,7 oilpan somewhat more flat, unlike the 1,8t which is abit more curvy.

Got some friends with S4 and RS4´s, never heard anything about them struggling with the oilpan. (one of them is pretty low).


You´re biggest problem will be the jackpoints under the car. They will be constantly hitting, especially speedbumps. They can take allot of beating though, and theyre easy to replace anyway.
I still have 1cm thread left when I took this picture.


And I would strongly advice you to get a skidplate of metal or something if you do go static.
Mines 4mm alu and protects the oilpan, bushings for swaybar and the crossmember.

Installed it this winter and I´m super happy with it! It even got holes for dumping the oil when changing
If you got upgraded swaybars like me, which is 35mm infront, the skidplate can be a bitch to fit.

most people drive around donk status = lame

agreed!

[FittedDownLow]

well if your subframe is lower static would be cooler in my opinion... it also depends if you like getting pulled over, i usually get pulled over weekly for throwing sparks and being to low, bags you can raise the car but most people drive around donk status = LAME

sorry to hear that.
car looks great.
i know the initial investment sucks, but it is definitely worth it. i resisted baggin' my flex for 2 and a half years. resistance is futile. it all comes crashing down.

Crossmember is the right word. Is it the same distance from the ground on the 2.7t's as it is on the 1.8t's?

[Dusty Mauve]

static and being slammed is only fun if your oil pan isnt in the way such as mine, when all you drag is subframe and frame rail it is awesome, when you drag oil pan its time to raise your motor or go air

The oilpan on b5's, atleast quattro-models, is about the last thing that touches the ground.

The car will be sitting on its front crossmember (not sure if its the right word, 'travers' we call it here) before ever touching the oilpan.

And to reply the others above you, I'm from Norway. Currently live in Bergen, but is orginally from Ålesund.

Sorry if I´m spamming with pictures...
but feeling a bit sentimental after my licenseplates were revoked after being stopped in a check.

The tyres were not safe for the roads, the car were to low and to wide, they said.
Can´t even get "testplates" before I approve the coilovers in the papers for the car

Oh no! Sorry to hear that.. I'm glad they're not too anal about that kind of stuff over here
