Suspension

[Adrian mccoll]

evening all

Wanting to order some new suspension for the s3
Been looking at the eibach/bilstein b12 pro kit as all my previous cars I’ve put coil overs on and been fed up with the rock hard drive after a couple of months.
What’s people’s experience with this kit ?
Is there a similar alternative ?
Where’s best(cheapest) to buy ?

Thanks

You should send @DPM a message. He would be the guy to speak to about good suspension set-up.

The B12 kit is a good option if not one of the best for springs and shocks. If you didn't want to spend quite as much the Koni STR.T kit is also worth while considering - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/ca...shocks-suspension-kits3-8l-18t-quattro-011999

Planning on going with the bilstein/eibach kit, will I need adjustable tie arms for this 25mm drop ?
And is it worth doing rear anti roll bar change while I’m under the car? Heard the r32 mk4 is a good option ??
Also is poly bushes a good idea ??
Thanks

RE:adjustable tie bars, it really depends on how many miles you cover and how you want your car to look? With the added camber, it wears the insides of the tyre tread at double the rate of normal.

Eibach springs are comfortable, but the front doesn’t lower enough, it’s maybe a 5-10mm drop at most. I would use a different brand personally.

Thanks Jojo, the kit is the b12 pro kit and says it lowers 20/25mm ??
So it’s only rears I need the adjustable arms for or both axles ?
What brand do you/people use? I’ve searched through the threads and there’s very mixed opinions and varying prices !! Found the silver project ones on eBay and they look okay and not too dissimilar from the cbauto ones and there cheaper? But is that because there not as good or what?

Only the rears mate, cook bots are highly recommended.

Just found there’s 2 options on there website, which ones are people using ?? Do I need to order anything with them like bushes etc or is it just a straight swap ?
Thanks
