Air ride?

[wezlo]

So im going to be buying a A3 sline 3.6 for my bro in 2 weeks most likely. Has air ride in a a3 been done?, i think that would be a awesome project for us to do and it would look very different. My bro doesnt want to make it really fast he just wants to get looks so i figuared airride would be the thing to do.

Comments, answers.


thanks

did you mean 3.2 instead of 3.6?

also, if he wants it just for looks, you should get him the 2.0T. It looks the same, it's cheaper, and it's better on gas.

[wezlo]

yes i ment 3.2 haha, i have a a4 2.0 as well and i would love to get him one but he wants a a3 and i would feel better if he had quattro. and quattro is only availble in 3.2 which sucks but it is what it is

The 2009s are supposed to be coming with quattro and 2.0T.

aren't those kits like around 5 grand +??

Imo just get low springs / coilovers for 300$ / 1000$ and spend the rest on better stuff. Springs will give you the same look

i know i have the c/os on my car and rims and such but i just wanted to do something different ya know and plus im going to but it cpo, im not buying a new one. money isnt too big of a deal i want to make this show quality

[fusionx]

Id personally keep the CO's and buy the oettinger kit, that will defiantly make your car soo sick

[the4ringer]

look into B&G c/o's. they drop the most. Ppl also run B&G rears w air ride. at least the MKV's have. Havent seen that many bagged A3's though

[wezlo]

oettinger kit would be pretty sick is right, right now im just keeping all the options open

Springs will give you the same look

no they wont

[tpliquid]

if u want low, you need to cut into the front frame... i think someone over at vwvortex did wit their mk5

[fusionx]

no they wont

meant coils* I don't know how low you wanna go man but I know a few people with some low ass a3s on coils. I personally think the super super low cars look bad

[adam's rotors]

its obviously what he wants if hes considering bags
a true tuck is a look all of its own.
i myself am a rub n poke kinda guy...others flush...tire tuck, or full on sag. to each his own

u know i never understood the term "coils" in reference to coilovers, when i think of a coil as a spring...with separate shock.
coil/coilovers i get it...but just call them by name or CO's. seems to confuse stuff

[Cwezlo]

well i just want to do something very different and i figuared bagging would be on of my options

[Cipherex]

start here. looks to be one of the easiest setups, but a little expensive. They should have or make what you need.
