i just chose a spring/strut combo and replaced all my mounts and bushings

bilstein race struts for a c4 s4

H&R sport springs

solid bushings and strut mounts

new ball joints + tie rod ends + sway bar bushings

fresh alignment

i stole the front sway bar and control arms from a 1987 audi 4000 quattro and put them on the rear of my car

the rear end will kick out pretty easily

i also have solid engine/tranny/driveshaft/differential mounts

like i said it rides pretty rough, but it's tied up nicely

e:

sry for the rant :P

lol but you also have a gt35r
and 1000 cc inject-... oh wait 1300 cc injectors
to maintain these two parts you would need to get supporting parts which are at least another 3 grand minimal

but you can't seem to pay an extra $500 for a set of adjustable race coils that would be much better and a stiffer ride than your current set up... it seems you take great pride and joy in riding on things that are stiff, so I'm just looking out for your interests ;)

lol megan

With only 600-800 your not going to get very far, save alittle more and invest in quality coils if you really think its necessary

A good Spring/Strut combo is fine

They just lack adjust-ability

I guess, but I'd like to know I can change my mind about how I want my suspension without buying a new set completely.
