i know absolutely nothing about suspensions. i don't know what the difference is between sway bars and coilovers or what they do. for all i know they're the same damn thing! anyone have a link for a suspension faq that is audi specific? anyone willing to post some suspension basics, with descriptions of what different componets do and why and how they affect the feel of the car. any links to some good posts that might explain some of this? my searches haven't come up with anything, probably because i don't really even know what to search for.

TIA

and welcome

All you need is a little curiosity and do a search with your favorite search engine... "coilover what are", "auto suspension how to" or something similar.
