    2Bennett Audimotive

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just took my S there to get timing belt service done and i told them that i had a warranty through carmax. They completed the timing belt service then did a total inspection and came up with about $1700 worth of other service that is all covered under the warranty. Including EGT, O2, radiator expansion tank, control arms and more.

    These guys are awesome and i whole heartly would reccomend them to any of you guys. They pro actively did warranty work, who else does that, i took the car to carmax and it took 6 trips for me to give up on their ability to order a hose correctly and replace it.

    The shop is based out of Davis, Ca if you didnt already know.

    They earned my Stage 3 business when the time comes, and they said that they could probably get carmax to pay for new K03's and i could pay the difference to K04's.....cold boosting here i come.

    Re: 2Bennett Audimotive

    They are a great shop for certain things (I've got about 10K in carnage receipts over the years to prove it). But you have much to learn grasshopper. I would NEVER take my car to them for stage III. There are certainly better options available for much less money. PM me if you're interested, otherwise, be content to waste your scrilla in oblivious bliss. . .

    been taking my car to them for years =D I live in CenCal, so I rarely have my car up in the Bay, but whenever something seems to go wrong, I would call Streetwerke and 2b. SW was booked for weeks, 2B fit me in =D Not to say SW is bad (they do some great work from what I know) just in my experience I trust 2b...

    I don't think they know (or care) that AZ even exists. Those guys are O.G.'s of the audi tuning game and have a very well established customer base. They probably just don't want to deal with the B.S. that so often manifests itself on these boards.

    Re: 2Bennett Audimotive

    I had the entire package installed, so it included the coilovers, Shocks, springs, etc...just about $2k after install..(it's retailed @$1600, so that sounds about right)..

    but the car handles like a go-kart. Right height is easy to change (although what they set it as it perfect for me and have never even needed to change it) And my dad has the same thing after his airshocks blew in his allroad, he loves it also.

    The GTR is insane, it sounds incredible. The tricked out controls have always amazed me. . . but what happened to Ken back in december in NY was real bummer though.


    Their coilover kit is arguably the best available for the price, te funny thing is that most people have no clue about it.

    Re: 2Bennett Audimotive

    I just saw in the forums the STaSIS Streetsport Suspension for 1099 or something, are the 2b ones $500 better than those you think?

    Ya, my dad's front C/O's gave out, so everytime he turned off his car, they would sink and the entire car looked like a lowrider...I kind of liked the look..lol. He loves them, haven't heard him complain once yet..

    Umm but actually if you go to the website to the allroad section and click on the link for the Brembo's, there is a picture of the allroad, you can check out the road height. (ya it has Brembo's/APR too)..sleeper avant ftw.

    I think so. . .I remember not asking for any specifics because I didn't want to seem overly concerned about the condition of the car when he was still fighting for his life. But from the conversation, iirc, it was the GTR that he was driving.

    Check out the website

    www.2bennett.com

    all of the info concerning his recovery is there at the top of the homepage.

    I had some work done there, and enjoyed my time watching, learning and waiting. Thought of doing stage 3 there but you say there are better options????

    I had a great experience going through 2B for a reflash and other goodies. I highly recommend them for audi performance work.
    calm the fuck down. it's all relative.

    They are indeed aware of Audizine's existence. I actually purchased their coilover suspension for my UrS6 from them, and they were quite cool. But you're right, they're definitely OG and focused on their craft.
