Suspension opinions...

[A5RIZ]

Still haven't lowered my car after 15,000 miles...thinking of doing it after the winter here in NY

Wanna do it right and not ready to blow $2000+ on a set of PSS or V3's plus all the Eurocode goodies

Will installing the AluKreuz and Sways make a big difference on the stock suspension and do you think it's worth doing before the drop ?

Then down the road doing coilovers and end links...


Or just do it all in once ???

I would do it one step at a time so you can feel the difference of each mod individually.

I would do coilovers first. It's up to you though.

I did the Alu Kreuz, eurocode sways and end links all at once, then coilovers later. You will definitely see a difference with just the AK and sways. And one that won't turn your car into into a NY snow plow before winter.

+1 I would give coilovers a shot first, I have the same idea as you do as far as suspension upgrades one step at a time. I put on a set of H&R coilovers and dropped the car about 1.25 all around. It gave me the look and stance I was looking for plus eliminated some of the body roll. Ill be doing the alu kreuz next

I did alu kreuz and sways together, they do make a big difference, car turns in sharper and tighter.

After a few months I did the Ohlins SL coilover, they do make a bigger difference, car is more planted and ride is flatter.

Tires make a big difference too on handling.

Do it one by one if you want to feel the improvements.

IMHO coilovers will give you the greatest improvement...

Did both like nivlek and agree with NPuter: the COs will define the handling characteristics of the car. The AK and sways can be fine tuning of that afterwards.

This is a perfect explanation. My car handled like crap on stock A4 suspension. I switched to vogtland coilovers (which are very stiff) and noticed a dramatic improvement in handling. I've driven a few stock B8 S4s and I feel that my car is way more precise/better handling...

Dude how are those suspensions? I am debating on those but I am worried about our canadian winter.

If any one is for some reason hesitant to get H&R coils....they shouldn't.....I love mine! They might be pretty stiff, but I enjoy a stiff ride(.......errrr).
