    Stock suspension suggestions

    Can someone recommend a suspension setup that will be as close to stock sport suspension as possible? I want to revert back to stock, but I don't want to buy a new setup from the dealership. I currently have bilstein sport shocks/neuspeed race springs.

    onemoremile I think still has a set of stock sports for sale. PM him to see if he does or not. IIRC they're pretty cheap.

    If you can afford the down time, I'll straight trade you or maybe throw in some cash.

    The shine springs are close to stock sport height. But they recommend the HD shocks instead of the sports.

    The Bilstiens should be able to use a set of stock sport springs. That's another option. It won't give the same ride quality as stock sport due to the dampers, but it'll give you your ground clearance back.

    Ive got all four springs for a FWD sport suspension if ure interested, otherwise the fronts will also work for a quattro, not the rears though.

    Re: Stock suspension suggestions

    If you need them the sport set from my car is available. Probably around 60k miles on the struts.

    What are your goals here? If you just want to get the car off the ground then put new springs over your Bilsteins. Stock sport would be at the soft end of the range, sport would be an inch higher than now but still an inch below sport, Shine springs would be at the stock sport height but twice their rate.

    Koni coilovers...........I have it on my car and I would say that it is a little firmer than my brothers B6 sport suspension..also it is still quite comfortable.
