Awesome pics!! What shocks are you using and do you still have the front sway bar on? My best a couple weeks ago was 1.52 with consistant 1.54.

Cartek did the A4 conversion for me , they've done a few others since . They could give you more info . Yes , my car is still IRS , it's pulled a best 60ft of 1.36 with the turbo , and a 1.41 60ft with my 441ci all-motor set up that ran 9's back in 2004 .
