Just about to tackle my suspension and I have the following to go on:
- Front drop links
- Top mounts and bearings
- Ball Joints
- Rear drop links
- KW Shocks and springs 20mm/15mm
Here's the gear:
Audi top mounts, bearings and ball joints:
eBay front and rear drop links:
Now the front links look good but I'm slightly worried about the quality of the rear ones!!
The two links are made from different material by the looks of it and the welds look a bit suspect on one of them:
Good one looks like this:
And bad one like this:
As for the shocks and springs, I'm awaiting the following kit from DPM:
KW 20mm/15mm Lowering Springs & Shocks Suspension Kit S3 8L 1.8T Quattro 01/99> - £498.25 : The premiere online mail order VAG suspension and performance specialists. We offer a wide range of all the best branded suspension and performance parts for
A huge thanks to Damian who responded to emails very quickly and was extremely helpful with any questions I fired at him.
My goal here was to get the car feeling tight again without going to harsh and i'm sure this setup will be fine for my driving.
Anyway, depending on when the shocks and springs turn up i might be tackling this job this weekend or next weekend so I'll update this thread then.
