Sweet. Very excited to see some magic. Great start with SB - why Audi insists on launching 5's in red and not this is beyond me.

Congrats Tommy. Sepang looks SO good

I was holding out for BO to be available but just put in an order for a Florett so looking forward to watching your build!

How much do ecodes run for the B9? Also how does it compare to your old rs5?

[chrissurfr]

awesome....cant wait to see

[hyperspeed]

pix of the paddles installed?

[Emerson11]

Love the Sepang! My SQ5 Sepang, so I ordered something different for S5, but after seeing yours, I'm having some doubts.

I'll be coming in to trade my 14 S4 for S5 Sportback. I already spoke with Anthony.
You know I only go to your dealer to get my Audi's. See you soon

Sounds good and he told me :)

We have 2 here right now so hurry!

No one has ecodes yet and Mops is trying to source.

Its better that the B8.5 in every category except for the raw connection you feel of a high revving NA V8. This motor is awesome and actually sounds good, but obviously not the same. I knew going in that would be the hardest thing to get over.

[Tommy@Nemesis]

Finally got my 034 parts on

[4RingRook]

Impressions so far with the 034 parts ?

(assuming its gotten off the lift yet, lol)

[Mops@Nemesis]

You're going to love the feel of the bar and mount. And damn, that brace is awkwardly sexy for a car part. ☺️

Did they ever get back to you regarding the springs?

[Beast]

Moving fast Tommy! Good stuff

[QuaTTrings]

That looks amazing, wow

Does someone know the stock camber settings for the B9 S5? Jimmy, do you have plans to set more aggressive camber than stock? If so, has the aftermarket offered variable camber plates for S4's and S5's? Would you install them if available?

No not yet. I bet H&R is close since they just released A5 SB that are ADS compatible

[Damon44]

That is stunning!

No. I'm not going crazy with this car. Waiting for Intake, tune and rear diff mount. That will improve it a lot over stock. Good combination of power and luxury.

Yes, I hear ya. Those are the main mods I'll start with as well. But, ultimately I think I'll want to get aggressive with the camber settings. I had my MINI at -2.5 in front and -2.0 in rear and had the Tow In set just beyond zero...about 10% of spec. The handling was great and had no appreciable wear on the inside of the tire and it was my daily driver. I'll probably try to find a similar config thats works for the S5 at some point.

Would love any advice/info anyone has...

Your H&R sport spring has dropped. PN 50385

Let the games begin....serious glut of pics of the SB with proper stance, wheels, etc. Hope that changes and soon!

[Tommy@Nemesis]

Hmm Canada doesn't get Sepang Blue...

I paid and waited for Audi Exclusive paint

[Mugello21]

did it come with the black roof by default or did you have to request the black roof with the SB order?

That's how it comes.

No real updates,
Just waiting to install the BBS wheels and have the R8/RS paddles in:

Yes it certainly is, if only they made 1 for a RS5 Cab,☹️,I'd order it right now.

[DBS]

Tommy, what are the specs on the BBS wheels your installing?

[James cole]
