I know it might sound unusual but on my wife's 07 A3 2.0TDI 170 DSG S Line I've found the suspension too hard when going over Irish potholes.
Hence I was looking for a damper/spring change that might maintain the lowered ride yet provide a softer set up over the bumps and poor roads.
The Bilstein B12 coilover set up was suggested but as that will drop the car by a further 5-10mm I was wondering is there a different damper that I could get to work with the existing springs or would both have to changed?
As one of the rear shocks is making a noise when going over bumps/speed bump they both have to be replaced so rather than replace them with the same I thought it'd be a good time to make a change.
Any suggestions?
I'm prepared to allow the body roll to increase as the car is more of motorway cruiser rather than a three wheeling R32 style car!
thanks
