This isnt a project thread- Audi A4 derv

Right, so the overhang appears to be around 25mm max. I have spoken to a few people who have said lowering a car usually drags the wheel in a little. Does anyone know how much a 50mm drop will drag in the wheel? If its only 10mm that would mean running a stretched tyre in combo should make me legal as it will only require 20mm reduction in width.

Ok so I sold the merc wheels to pay for easter as funding was incredibly low (needed money for the golf innit) but have now got my student loan through....now chasing a set of black bbs ch reps

After giving my girl no TLC since the last update a lot has happened. Both front wishbone bushing and push rod bushings have gone almost completely, cv joint is a knocking like hell, rear trailing bushings were completely shot (you could push the back end side to side, it was awefull) and a rear damper was 'weaping', which actually fell apart into 4 separate pieces once the spring was removed.


Bushings needed burning out and then pulling with the aid of a windy gun and a puller



A very bouncy ride for the past few months is explained above.


Ordered all front controll arms but aren't here after ordering 2 weeks ago 

Two new front tyres to go on soon also.

Replace all these



One of the very few jobs where in the future I would simply send it to a garage to sort, absolutely awful job. Oxycet bolts off, dropping sub frames and removing suspension struts for hours and hours.  but all done now

Full bill of health from the MOT man, 6 months tax and soon to be another years insurance at a very decent £300. My bike transportation device is ready to go!

Sent it to a local bloke to swap out a wheel bearing that was making a bonkers noise... went to pick up the car and the quotes 'worst I have ever seen', 'suprised your wheel didn't fall off' and 'completely f**ked' where made in the 2 minute conversation with the mechanic.

Really really want to do some cosmetic stuff to this car to make this thread worth even half reading, but unfortunately stuff keeps f**king up. Rear wheel bearing gone pop.
