What do you think about this suspension setup?

[dichiee]

I'm on a tight budget right now and I'm thinking of getting Vogtland Club Spec springs with Bilstein sports then add the ECS Coilver kit later on. Is this a good setup?

Thanks in advance.

Just put H&R Race springs on the stock sport shocks it will be fine I ran that set-up for near on 2 years.

[dichiee]

is the ride the same as the stock sport? I have 65K on the car already.

Where can I get RS4 shocks here in the states? How much do they run over there?

Vogtland Sports over Bilsteins or Konis is a very nice setup. The Club Spec springs are too low. I'm pulling a set off of a local's S4 Avant with Club Specs over Konis. The thing is tucking some tread.

The ride is stiffer with the sport shocks and the H&R springs and I would not waste any money one the shocks because you are planning to go Coilovers later.

RS4 shocks would have to be a main dealer option or try vagparts.com butit may be cheaper to just et upgraded shocks but my point is save the money and just do the springs and go do the coilovers later.

My car had more miles then yours when I put the H&R springs on and only swap out the shocks as I had them sitting around and I was puting on the RS4 brakes.

club spec springs over koni are VERY nice. They are A4 front (350lb/in) and S4 rear (360lb/in) so if anything on the A4 they'll be higher at the back compared tothe Vogtland sport. Very nice and neutral handling with neuspeed rear sway bar

used to have vogtland/koni now have H&R coilovers. The spring/shock combo was very bouncy compared to the coils

Nope it was fine, when I had H&R race springs on my none Sport shocks it was bounce on slow dips in the road but my 1.8TQ with sport shock was fine.
