Default 5 Axis Body Kit and Tanabe DF120's

Does anyone have this combo ? Getting my RS6.0 in about 3 weeks and wanted to know about how low it comes to the ground with the 5 axis kit and the DF120's ? If not what springs are your using that looks good on 18"s ?

Page 4 of this thread has pics with the 5-Axis lip kit on DF210 springs. IIRC, he's planning on changing out his springs because he's tired of scraping his lip kit.

i had DFs with the 5Axis for one day LOL

it will scrape and the sides hang quite low and those will scrape on speed bumps. i didnt have to drive around to know that this is a painful setup. on the side note it looks really good though! here is a pic of me at a show before i swapped out to air. DFs + 5Axis

That's what D_Unit, the guy I spoke about earlier who scrapes, is going with.

You just need to be careful with offset and wheel width, so that you don't end up rubbing. Let me know what wheels you like, and I will help you with offset and tires, so that you end up with something that works without rubbing.

I just had Stylis replace my DFs with NFs today... My wife loves the XB once again. Sadly to say, in the 1 month she's taken over the XB, my cf front lip is falling apart and she curbed one of the rear wheels really badly!!! HAHA. Oh well.

Yo Mike, love how your ride is coming along. Gabe mentioned you had an air runner kit today... nice to finally see some pics of it. Sweet.

Hey CIONIDE, when is Tanabe going to start giving you royalties for all your referrals???

i'm looking to get the DF springs but i have the 5axis kit. what if i only install the rear springs to get the 2in drop. would this eliminate the scraping?

If you have OEM springs on the front, then your rear will be lower than the front and look goofy.

but i'm thinking it will LOOK even because of the overall body kit making the front look lower than it actually is...isn't the back lower than the front called "cali leanin"

No, it's called "coyote runnin' illegals across the border."

Seriously though, the gap b/w the wheels and rear fenders will be smaller than the fronts. I don't think a lip kit will mask this. Sounds like what you really want is NF front springs and DF rear springs.
