Default Cant decide... Comps or RS7's? (PICS)

Picked the comps up yesterday but can’t decide what I prefer now.. They make the car sit to high or something can’t put my finger on it. What’s the opinions?

Main reasons for getting them were you can’t put big brakes on the RS7's and everyone seems to have them now.

Defo Comp Mo's all the way mate, take it out for a drive and then let it settle, once you've jacked a car up it will always look higher as the suspension will have risen slightly

Looks far better now, what brakes you getting? Or should I say, which model of AP brake are you getting!?

I actually like the comps only for the simple fact it's the 6 spoke. If you'd gone for the 17" Comp's i would have said but the RS7's back on.

Cars looks mint mate

Thanks guys, I’ve decided to keep the comps now. Got it out the garage today and after a night of settling it looked good!! I need two of the comps refurbed so am tempted to go anthracite.. Anyone photoshop gods here?

Dean, I think she might be ok without coilovers.. Will have to see what its like after a good throw around. For some reason these don’t fit right over my hubs, im going to have to get the centres machines out an extra couple of mil for them to sit right on. I don’t know why as these came off a three door.. The RS7's are back on until this happens.

PS Don’t bother bringing your spanners tomorrow
