OK folks,
Looking for some advice on this one. My 1.9 TDI Quattro avant needs new springs and shocks, still on the originals and they are shot, catching speed bumps in the street more regularlyâ¦â¦ :-(
So, most of the arms have been replaced in the last 2 years, as well as all the wheel bearings and an RS4 RARB was one of the first mods I did. The car is my main one and is used for annual trips snowboarding, Le Mans and all my triathlon races, so it does get loaded up regularly. I also run the original 16" wheels in the winter tyres at this time of year, but have RS6 18's for the summer.
I do not want to lower the car, it is already on sport suspension and when I go to Le Mans, it is packed to the gunnels inside, plus has roof bars and box up top. The original suggestion was to go for Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs, standard spec. however, I am throwing this open to the Forum for suggestions as unsure which kit to go for, or whether I should mix and match.
Do not suggest coliovers, as I am not going down this route, I may however be tempted to fit B5 perches to the front if it widely regarded as a good choiceâ¦..
Let the comments beginâ¦â¦..
