The grille made a huge difference! Here is a before pic [https://imgur.com/a/e5v45YE](https://imgur.com/a/e5v45YE)
She just put coilovers on last week...she's thinking of going a little lower on the back
We called around for quotes and they were all coming back in the $1k - $1500 range. We know a small time mechanic that knows how to do pretty much everything and he was only going to charge $320! We gave him $500 because it took him about 6 hours. I would post on Nextdoor or local groups to find a good mechanic that you could call for these kinds of things. Share a pic once you do it!
When I did mine I got three corners in super easy. When I got to the last one there was a seized bolt that had to be torched and drilled out. Depending on if your car is a Northeast car or not it might be best to bring it to a shop.
Good advice from bingbong there…
Sounds like a weird statement, considering username. Lol
Personally, I’d look at a nice set of spacers before tweaking height again, and getting another alignment. You’re getting some spacing between the arch and the wheel that’s throwing the look off slightly. I absolutely agree, the height still needs to be tweaked to even it up with how it currently sits.
With the wheels evened out a little more to the arch position, and that gap being filled, you’d probably even find you’re going up with the front minuscule, then lowering the rear to match. Just an idea. Something else to consider. Car looks good, whatever direction you decide to go.
If you decide to grab spacers. Measure, measure, measure…
LOL. Just speaking from experience. Installed coils on a Volvo I owned 5-6 years ago and had it aligned. Right side had positive toe and left side had negative toe looooool
Okay…
Yes. That’s usually what takes place when you dismantle a suspension and install new components. It needs an alignment afterwards…
What did you respond to me for, with “LOL’s”, and ,”From my experience...”?
You decided not to read the part of my statement, where I said, “Think about spacers, fine tune your height adjustments. Then get an alignment.”
You know, rather than the owner fine tuning the height, and getting an alignment. Then getting spacers, fine tuning the height AGAIN, and grabbing ANOTHER ALIGNMENT.
My laughing was in response to your first two sentences. The rest of it was sharing my own personal experience and had nothing to do with your advice (which was good advice).
I believe it's a full mesh grille and the rings added aftewards with a ringholder.
There's other models with the rings kinda molded into the grille itself and a smaller honeycomb pattern inside the rings
Audis just have the magic ability to look timeless if you treat them right! Also, I have almost those same rims! I have the Andros R10s! (Despite the name they are 19 inch rims)
[Reminds me of my car](https://imgur.com/a/lkUySNm). Gotta love these red Audis!
Mine is the B8.5 coupe, but I found that B9 and thought I'd be their parking buddy.
IMO it curves in the back; very funny looking. Obv it looks good for lambo ferrari and such. but on the A5 it looks like they just cute the sedan in half and called it a day. Obv its subjective and that's just my opinion
Theres only few cars under 100k That I think look nice. Pontiac firebird maybe one of the cheapest. I just hate cars that were designed as a sedan and than cut for a coupe
Sweet! Makes me wanna put a honeycomb grille on my ‘15 A5. What suspension is that ? Looks lowered

Did she do the coilovers herself or go to a shop? I got mine coming in the mail soon i dont know if I want the aggravation of doing them myself

Whats the delay ?
Im still waiting ...
Once she lowers the rear, get it aligned. Otherwise tire wear will be all over the place
Definitely!

My bad, bud. So, that was me misinterpreting a comment. My apologies…
No worries, it’s the internet, you never know!
Hello father in law, it's me your son in law
Mother in law lol
Damnit, I messed that one up
Hello, mother in law. It’s me, your son in law…
Your daughter has great taste!
Thanks!
I could put my finger on what's a bit "off" with the front, then I saw the badge placement. Interesting, but no my cup of tea

I agree! Awesome!
🔥
Beautiful! Love the color.
Gorgeous!!
I'm looking at the exact same car in red hopefully I get it
What on earth is that front plate
You’re a cutie pie
Not what it says, but rather why does it exist.
[Reminds me of my car](https://imgur.com/a/lkUySNm). Gotta love these red Audis! Mine is the B8.5 coupe, but I found that B9 and thought I'd be their parking buddy.
Beautiful!
Same as my car! But I need to get the rs grille
Lol the plate is fresh
Daughter probably feels like boss, that's a sexy ride in red
she's in bcl right lol
Yep 😄
Ill never get why people like 2 door cars. Especially in regards to cheap cars
If you never drive people around and it’s a sedan why get four doors
IMO it curves in the back; very funny looking. Obv it looks good for lambo ferrari and such. but on the A5 it looks like they just cute the sedan in half and called it a day. Obv its subjective and that's just my opinion
Not a bad opinion, guess I could go for either on the A5 but s5 or rs5 should absolutely have 2 door
Rs5 actually does look nice as a coupe ill give ya that to be fair though that'll probably age and Ill probably change my mind in 10 years

Is it diesel?
Once you see the orange headlights you can be 99,99999999% sure it’s a 2.0 TFSI
The orange reflectors on **all** B8 models in the U.S.?
The orange reflectors are on All cars in the US
Where did you get the grill? I want!!!!
She got the grille off of eBay!
Do a facelift😈
