    Hello,

    Anyone have pics or comments on how 2013 s5 w/ stock 19" peelers, monsoon grey, sports diff.,would look without lowering/dropping car?? Or comments on what size spacers work best with my stock 19" peelers? Thx in advance...just looking to create a better/wider stance without going crazy...hope that makes sense ; )

    Spacers without a drop makes your car look like a 4x4. I did it on my old S5 while I waited for my coils to arrive...it did not look good at all.

    Really? Don't want that! I wonder if anyone has done it and still likes it?? I'm also wondering if just getting 20" wheels will satisfy me enough without having any spacers or lowering the car? Anyone have pics of this setup?

    I have some H&R OEMS that are sitting in the garage waiting to get installed....one of these days. The car looks good with the stock sport suspension but will look better once I get the H&Rs are installed.

    some pics with spacers before I lowered it and with different wheels/fitment to give you some ideas of how different it looked as things changed.

    Before lowering with spacers. 19x9et33 20r/15f with 255x35s



    AFTER lowering with same spacers/wheels. 19x9et33 20r/15f with 255x35s



    AFTER lowering with different wheels 20x10 et30 5r/0f, 275x30s

    Same dims. Weights vary by motor, and the S5's can have different spec wheels. Ride height is the same as any other s-line/sport 5.

    And to add what Mops said....the front of the S5 will sit a little lower compared to the A5 when you lower it due to the heavier engine.

    For sure. Take the OE's for example…. they work okay on the 2.0, while they provide an awesome drop on the 4.2 cars.
