Front Rims - 18x8 et26 (wrapped in 215/40) - No rubbing at all on either spring
Rear Rims - 18x9 et20 (wrapped in 215/40) - Rubbing on DF210s even after aggressive rolling/flaring. No rubbing at all on NF210s.

Still looks excellent. I wish I could get the 5 axis kit but my trailer hitch is in the way. I use it for my bike rack. Would you say that mounting bikes on the roof has any hassles compared to a hitch-mounted rack? Have you tried a heavier mountain bike(s)? Can you feel it in the turns? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

nice to see nice pictures with a nice comparison. Car looks good both ways, I'm kinda surprised to the front still so low.

One reason I like the rear drop is if your behind the car/following. When low it really stands out. when not people might not notice. both looks great, nice post

i read that 5 axis recomends that a portion of the rear piece be painted flat black?
if that's true a hole cut for the bike rack wouldn't be that noticable.
i also have a hitch for the same reason.

so with my future setup... it sounds like i should be good to then, would you say so?

What is the width & offset of your wheels, and what size tires are you running?

very nice...i went with tanabe df210's with tokico hp shocks...runs better...but i think my ride is stiff...but that most likely has to do with my hotchkiss sway bar and trd strut tower bar.... :P

Just dropped my RS6 on Tanabe NF210's... I LOVE IT!! I think it rides better and handles better too. I am on stock 205-55-16 tires with KONIG rims. Room to spare even with all 4 of us in it. I will try to post pics tomorow.

Took a while, but I did get the pics.... Stock tires, zero issues, love the ride & handling improvement. I have a set of Hotchkis sway bars getting here today. Hope to at least get the rear installed tonight. (forgive me for dirty tires, I work on a dirt road :mad:)

FWIW... Even with a full load of people, there are zero issues. I also did not cut any bump stop off the struts. The B handles much better. Sway bars should really stick it to the road.
