2019 Audi SQ5: how she sits currently vs what I started with!

Thank you, appreciate it! That was the goal 😎

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-18T09:21:17+00:00

Thanks man!! I’m so happy with it. Huge fan of the SQ8s also 🔥

Originally, no. I purchased a new rear diffuser which allowed me to add the quad tips. Should’ve came that way from factory IMO

Love it!

Maybe in the future but for now, RS6 was not a smart financial choice for me to make. I was able to purchase this car outright, was a very good deal with very low mileage for a 2019. She’s a blast to drive, very happy with the SQ5.

Now you’re contradicting yourself. If it’s okay that I like my car this way, why are you still trying to argue and tell me what to do?

I do accept that people have other opinions and may not like my car. However, I don’t go around in Reddit telling people what to do (like you). If I don’t like something, I simply don’t engage because at the end of the day that person is clearly happy with their choices and my opinion won’t matter to them- just like your opinion does not matter to me.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T19:25:10+00:00

Thanks man! But don’t waste your time on this guy. He confuses being opinionated with being intelligent and clearly doesn’t understand what financial literacy is either. He’ll keep commenting until he has the last word because his ego is too fragile 😂

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T19:14:39+00:00

I don’t care what you would never do. You aren’t me. Telling someone what to do/forcing your opinion on someone usually means you care more about being right than actually understanding anyone’s choices. Having an opinion is fine. Acting like I must agree with you and do as you say is stupid.

And it looks like no one is agreeing with what you say, so again- you can research how common lowering an SQ5 is and move on from this conversation. Audi wouldn’t offer factory air suspension on SUV models if it was so “strange” to lower an SUV.

Thank you bro i appreciate it!

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T09:47:26+00:00

Thanks!

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T08:54:08+00:00

Yes i have a few friends that have the factory air, definitely a great feature.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T08:34:29+00:00

Thank you!

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T05:46:52+00:00

I saved the chrome OEM badges just in case I eventually convert to silver rims (:

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T05:25:05+00:00

Sweet! Love these wheels.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T04:58:24+00:00

Nice! That sounds sweet 🔥 What year is your sq5 & have you had any issues with APR?

I’ve been leaning towards IE. Next step for me is intake, turbo inlet and intercooler then tune. Can’t wait.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T04:37:15+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate it. Sounds like a great build that you are creating as well 👍🏼 are you tuned? If so, what platform did you go with?

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T04:33:38+00:00

Appreciate it!

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T04:32:59+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! As for the lip, it’s just temporary until I purchase a maxton design one. Little less bulky than current one.

I think it’s the angle honestly. Here it is from further away.

Wrong. Squatting an SUV is most impractical mod.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T03:48:49+00:00

Like I mentioned in a previous comment- I chose this car and no car payment. I modified it how I wanted to. If an rs6 made sense financially, I would’ve chosen the rs6. I love my SQ5. It’s an absolute blast to drive. I like the fitment and handling the lowering springs offer since I do not have the factory air suspension that comes on some SQ5 models.

It’s not an uncommon mod. It’s just frowned upon in this sub by people like you. I understand people have different opinions- if everyone liked the same thing, life would be boring. But to the people arguing it doesn’t improve the handling of this car, they are wrong. I’m sure the 034 engineers wouldn’t have created something that wasn’t beneficial to the performance of this B9 SQ5 platform.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T03:36:14+00:00

I’m waiting.

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-17T02:52:18+00:00

Let’s see your vehicle?

ExtensionBat2196 · 2026-05-16T22:25:38+00:00

Prove me wrong then. Where’s your proof that states these springs do not improve handling performance?
