which should I get A4 ecodes or bilstein shocks?

[titan]

Iam debating on which one to get A4 ecodes halogen or bilstein with perches.?

[Saturnine]

Shocks.

[astris]

I think I would just save a little extra and get spings and shocks. I want halogen Ecodes too, but they are so damn expensive.

[madrussian]

I'd go w/ the shocks, but its better if you do them w/ springs. Because installing the springs later will be a pain. Suspension's a fun install, but only if you do it once.

[titan]

yea they are like around $400 shipped, shocks are around almost $500 shipped

[Foos Girl]

Shocks!!!!!!

[giago]

400 for Ecode halogens? Thats not too bad. Where from?

[MikekiM]

Shocks, though I'd go with Koni's over Bilsteins.

[titan]

the koni's have better performance. Do these bilstein run very stiff? Right now Iam running 19inch RS6.

[ProtoColD]

Get shocks.

If you want to get ecodes, get xenon ecodes with all the bulb/ballast with them. Halogen ecode is just not worth the money.

[titan]

how do I get xennon ecodes if I got stock halogens? I just want plug and play.

[ProtoColD]

Just get it. The existing plug will work. It is plug and play.

[RippleChip]

Get suspension first.

[titan]

protocold do you sell xennon ecodes that I can plug and play?

[titan]

heard the bilstein shocks are stiff? I guess like the ride I have now its stiff but not that stiff, Iam running 19inch wheels so would the bilstein make it more stiff?

[G_A4]

probably would. but go suspension first the ride won't be that stiff. [:)]

[wombatt_0]

shocks definitely..... asthetics can always wait.

[titan]

How would the ride be with these neuspeed bilstein shocks on the stock sport springs? I dont want to lower my car any more except the front gap to match rear with the front perches. I dont want it any more sfiffer then it is now it seems perfect I have rs6 19s on. From what I heard the bilstein are stiff but to what extent? How do they compare to the stock sport shocks, is it worth it to change it?

thanks

[ethan2]

How about just going with the H&R springs on stock shocks?

[titan]

anyone knows if the ecodes at lltek.com sells comes with everything. valeo xennon ecodes, is this with the ballast and lights. would this be a plug and play to convert from halogen to xennon. Its like $399 for each side

[ProtoColD]

just talk to that guy at

ride comfort is very subjective. i was really worried about having too stiff of a ride with 19's and eibachs and adjustable konis. now it doesn't even bother me at all.

[LAS]

save up a little more and get shocks AND springs. if you want xenon, get the rs6 or a8 kit from ProtoColD.[:D]

[titan]

is the RS6 xennon easy to install? Do you need to solder wires? Are you running ecodes and xennon

[ProtoColD]

i have instructions on http://www.oemhid.com
