Looking at above but the bilstein b8 with eibach pro kit what do you reckon to meyle top mounts front and rear also considering rs4 antiroll bar with mayle rear drop links any reason you recommend skf and lemforder top mounts
 
audi upgrades
Yes Bilstein B12 kit is cool .

Meyle top draw , SKF and Lemforder tend to be oem .

Think if I'm going to do it I'm going to go the whole hog and go for it with all meyle hd arm kit and meyle top mounts front and rear plus rs4 arb. hope it's all worth it. Its get the pennies out time now I'll let you know the outcome also will b5 spring perches fit on the bilstine front shocks??

Also what's the score with a decat is it a worth while mod??
 
No idea about B5 perches , it's interfering with what Eibach engineers came up with.

Decat, is good .
 
The B5 perches best suit the original s-line springs and bring the front level with the rear in terms of arch gap.........The Eibachs are designed to do this already, so use the original perches.

As an example, this is mine on sport shocks/springs with the B5 up front..........arch gaps are even F to R. I also recently put new sport shocks on and that made a world of difference and the old shock had covered about 70k miles

Just need to get the front end done now.
And as I expected I can feel the difference already and it's settled nicely and sits perfect. I will get some pics today please don't mention how high the front looks
It's getting the same treatment

Ha I'm not scared of the fronts been there before I have two spare front legs all stripped ready with two new meyle wheel bearings and all the other bits so I can build them up lose before I even start I'm just waiting for the bilstine coilover add on kit to land from ecs then it's all going on

i had problem with the big long bolt had seized in the arm. so had to remove the front leg the hard way.
 
Yeah I've been there that's why a spare set of legs comes in handy just need to get these baby's on
