    Springs are more for the looks than performance. If you installed the sway bar I would guess that performance matters to you, so get your wallet out and get those shocks. Or even better; COs

    I have the H&R with the rs4 swaybar and it rides great. its been this way for 30k or so if i was to do it again I would have got some coilovers.

    you'll probably be ok, but you should def. consider shocks that are valved correctly to your springs... the ride is night and day + you're probably overworking your stock shocks, hence the shortened lifespan.

    Stasis Street Sports. They ride smoother than the stock S-Line suspension.

    Hum, question is where do i want to spend the money right now? Hell I'm spending it on GAS!!! Yesterday I spent $63 to fill up my A4... The Q7, I don't want to talk about that... Big SUV's are going to be sold for pennies on the dollar in the near future. I can see it now the Hybrid Suburban, forget Surburbans, TDI Q7 Baby!!!!

    springs without shocks is a cop out, you need both in order to really improve your performance, and in the long run it will save you money.

    SupremePowerParts.

    I ordered a set from them, they are a no BS call in, get your info, ship out that day place. They even gave me the tracking number that instant.

    That place comes highly recommended, got them out from Cali to NY quick, no shipping fees or tax either.


    And they do ride great, I have the setup and its slammed and the dampening set to the softest setting, and it drives like a dream.
