Coilover recommendations for B6 I need a little help

**JohnnyG** · 05-05-2008 08:51 PM

Hey I'm new here and just got a B6 1.8t. I want to drop it and be able to take it to some north east audi club track events. I was down for the stasis GB but that fell through. I have driven pss9 and koni equipped customer cars but I know there are other options. My suspension is the non sport and my only upgrade so far is a rs4 rear sway bar, any recommendations? I'm interested in Tein anyone have experience w/ them? Any feedback would be great, thanks

you want to track the car, then go with Stasis' new coilover which replaced the stasis tracksports. StaSIS/Ohlin coilover suspension.
or
KW V3!!!

If you're interested in the teins then it's because of the price...in which case, I'd spend a few more bucks and get Koni or Stassis (same thing).

I got a feeling the Ohlin setup will cost more than I paid for my car

The tein ss is affordable but the spring rates look good for occasional track use:
504f 672r
what do you guys run?

you said you want to track your car that's why I gave you those setups. Coilvers such are StaSIS streetsport is not enough for hard core track events, they are just adequate

True... but I guess I'm lookin' for a balance I drive 120 miles a day to & from work

and 4 20min audi club track sessions in one day shouldn't be too crazy. I think the Ohlins are a good race damper. I crew'd for a grand am team that ran 'em on their typeR intergras..... 'till they went w/ moton. Thanks for the suggestions 'cause I'm looking at all my options... I hope some of you AZ'er have taken your B6 to an event with something other than a full race damper and had some recommendations or setups to avoid. I only have flow for one setup....

I edited the first post to include "audi club" I'm not ready to do any scca or nasa events in my a4 its kind of a pig....3455lbs w/ a k03 1.8t
