<center><img src="http://www.eclubvw.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/Turbo-Wash-003.jpg"></center><p>what I'm asking is, are my shocks possibly gone, it feels like my swaybar isn't stiff enough, or that my tires don't have enough air in them...I checked the tire pressure--A-OK, and the swaybar links are fine...is it time for Bilsteins?

Default a couple questions..

what shocks are on there right now? How long or how many miles do you have on them? Also, which sway bar do you have? And, I know I'm full of questions..but why does it say near your sig..S4 coilpacks? Mine say S4 on them and they came stock in 1996 when I bought the car new. Answer those questions and I can help you better.

Default If you have been riding on OEM shocks and H&R race springs yeah...they are most likely gone..

Bilsteins are a great idea.

Default Re: a couple questions..

I've been using the OEM sport shocks for a year, so..perhaps 10K miles.

OEM Swaybar.

I actually took off the S4 coilpacks, but they were the red ones off of the new S4. Just for looks.

Thanks for your help.
