Sold my 308+whp del sol a few weeks ago. It was a very fun car, but I wanted something a little more DD friendly and better in the winter, so here it is...It's a 2001 Audi A4 Quattro with the sport package. I've done a few appearance mods and plan on chipping it with GIAC in the next few weeks. Enjoy!
Gauge Rings(boost gauge will match with silver trim)

18X8 B7 RS4's look great IMO

I know everybody is going to keep saying lower, lower! lol. I'm not doing that anytime soon. I wanna enjoy the quattro in the winter with ground clearance. I don't think it looks bad at the current ride height, but it would look better dropped....that I agree with!
Service costs? what service costs! I'll do my own service... haha.

I've done a tie rod, an oil change, battery replacement, removed headlights to replace bulbs(can't believe you can't get to them without doing that), and a few other things. haha.
I do have pics of the sol...search my username. Go back a little bit to see it before it was hit in the door/fender.

haha, wow...if anything, i'm only going another 0.8-1.0 inches. I wanna keep it to where it can be aligned, good ground clearance, etc....
Have fun removing the front end of the car to do a timing belt lol I see you are at 135K. Audi recomends changing it every 90K but they usually break before that. most people recomend every 70K which would be 140K for you.

You should go lower just get some coilovers and firestone offers life time alignments. Just slam it in the summer and raise it in the winter

and i also just had it aligned, so i did get firestones lifetime alignment. They even said that I could do suspension work, lower the car, etc and they would still align it free of charge because i purchased the lifetime.

I've seen a lot of pictures of your car! Are they yellow painted fogs or yellow bulbs? I've considered either yellow bulbs out of my high beams or painting them with krylon stained glass paint
haha sounds like your golden then! the T belt is the major bitch good thing it was done. I always get the life time alignment and you really can use it all the time. I have slammed the car for a photo shoot, gotten it aligned then taken it in the next day raised up and had them re align it lol They love me in there
LOL @ slamming the car, raising it, and taking it in the next day for another alignment.
Nice car. A guy I used to work with had the same one though and it was giving him all kinds of problems and his was right around 130,000 miles.

yeh, it's no good old reliable honda...thats for sure. I'm prepared for the fact that I more than likely will have trouble. I'll probably drive it for a year and send it down the road
