Hi guys !!!

I need some feedback from those of you who replaced their Suspension,
my plan is to buy Neuspeed Sport Spring with Bilstein Sport(Neuspeed
modified) Shocks or Koni Sport(Neuspeed modified) Shocks combination.
Is it right that Neuspeed modify the Shocks (Koni and Bilstein) to
their specifications (valving, ajustable C-Clamp, etc.), if so, what
is those modifications ???

I drive in rought road sometime but never off-road, I want to keep a
confortable ride with a sporty handling. After that, I want to
install Neuspeed front/rear(19mm) Sway-Bar, what is your experiences
with them, do you recommand it ??

I prefer to start with suspension handling before improving the
motor...by adding a chip...maybe someday ????

Thanks

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/966/wett11.jpg"></center><p>well for starters I have a 1.8, but I can't see that making any difference.
from what I understand, Neuspeeds (Bilstiens anyway) are simply given the "c" clamp perches are adjustable to 3 places, both front and rear
my Bilstien/Bilstiens have these perches Front only if I recal correctly.
just set mine to the middle perch. I don't know about any Valving changes??

H&R sports /w Bilstiens is my set-up.
and as you can see in the pic, very stable, virtualy eliminates any (or most) Body roll, Dive etc. and the pic is taken at a very aggresive Hard Brake and just starting a Hard left turn after a fast downhill striaghtaway.

as far as everyday driving and rough roads, I live and drive downtown San Francisco everyday, maybe not the worst, but constant road construction everywhere, all of the time it seems......and I'm very happy!!


Audi On!

I assume you have the non-sport suspension? Bilstein makes a great product with lifetime warranty. Make sure you buy from authorized dealer.
