i noticed in one of your pics that you have spacers installed. i had a previous c4s with the same wheels and also had the spacers on the rear wheels. always felt a slight vibration on the steering wheel at moderate speeds and could not get rid of it even after countless balancing and changing the tires. i personally thought the spacers, not being perfectly round, contibuted to the effect. how's the ride quality in your car? i do not have this issue now with the hollow tt.

i have similar mods like the short shift and garage door opener and both are great to have. i also lowered the ride height with pss9 and the car looks totally different.

congrats on your purchase and enjoy in good health.

I don't feel any vibration at all with the spacers. I'd prefer not to run spacers but since the car was ordered with Technos, the spacers are needed.

Thanks for well wishes

Ohhhhhhh Kaaaaay... Mikelly already made the call. Tick, tock, tick, tock... This thread has me bustin' a gut. Can't wait to see the machine in person.

930man: It will always be a TT!!!!!! Lmao
Ouch. Low blow!!!

Dell, how can you possibly track that car??? It's too nice and purdy. You need to start the strip down process IMMEDIATELY. And, man, those tit lugs would look SAWEET on your machine!

Good luck with the DOT belts...

Somehow Tom "tkerrmd" is probably reading this thread and laughing.

Fortunately, I am immune to such mods and threads.

True dat.
