Hey all,
So the next step in my work on the Audi is to upgrade the suspension. I;ve been told that Bilstein uprated shocks with Apex springs are the best combo, although I am finding it hard to find out where to get the upgraded Bilsteins??? Any ideas?
I have read that the Koni Shocks are a little too harsh, and not saure on the Spax - does anyone have any recommendations from experience??
I am also forward thinking - next year I want to drop either the 3.2FSI Engine or the 2.0 FSI turbocharged unit into it (I will also be changing the ECU etc - when I say I, I mean a decent aftermarket specialist!!).
Should/would this impact the uprated shocks I choose??
Additionally I want to fit 18" alloys, but dont think this is too much of a biggy if I drop it 35mm/40mm and adjust tyres accordingly (from 205/60/15" to 225/35/18")
Advice please! :D
