The Suspension Gods Have Arrived!

[chrisbostonusmc]

Got my KW V1 adjustable coilovers yesterday and they look pretty. Anyone else rocking these?? If so how is the handling and ride?

[blkrhyno]

Let me know how the ride and handling is, I'm try to make a decision on some coilovers or very good shock/spring set up.

Nice, how much did those run you? I'm looking at gettin a set of PSS9's, hopefully they drop the price alittle.

that's funny I was hoping the same thing.

Sorry guys I have been busy all day working on the car doing this! I paid 800 for the coilovers from a local audi owner..deal of a lifetime!notice i painted the trim too. I know where to get these coils for 1300 new. I will give a review once there installed and I mount the BBS Lemans 19s on Falken 452s tires

i have those coilovers...they're awesome i've tracked without them and tracked with them and bigg differance...it allows you to turn the car into any hard turn and it'll handle... you barely feel any roll even with stock sway bars.... if you have the snub mount and your slammed on Kw's its a hell of a ride...

they deliver

How would you rate the daily drive? Is it still comfortable? My A6 is my daily driver and I want to try and keep the comfort as much as possible.

That was my biggest fear.."losing stock ride quality" I noticed stock suspension you feel the same amount of road force...but with coils you can take turns a lot i mean A LOT harder..The only compromise to stock suspension is being careful for potholes/roadkill/speedbumps...

[chrisbostonusmc]

nice i have an apr snub mount.. cant wait to see how it handles

I have a friend with thoes. I like how they ride. Obviously they dont ride like stock but they are not too harsh.

this is why I want to go with the PSS9's, adjustable ride settings

[2.slowT]

I have the PSS9's sitting here. Kust waiting for spring to install them. I will post when installed.

wait the kw v1s are adjustable..whats the difference?

The PSS9's have adjustable dampening. Depending on the setting they are less harsh. I have ridden in an S4 Avant with them and it rode better than my sport suspension.

[chrisbostonusmc]

ahhh no wonder they're 1500 bucks..well now I have to upgrade the brakes :-) Porsche Calipers anyone..My goal is to be the first A6 featured in Eurotuner..thats after I drop in 996 turbos of course

[2.slowT]

1st A6 in Eurotuner. You sure there has not been one??

[streetsoffire]

.......and when you say 1st, do you mean the first to send a pic in to Eurotuner this year, or the 1st that Eurotuner does a spread on this year?

Headlights look good man.. got any more pics? Oh, and I am also eager to see the drop.. since I never got them installed on my car.

I am being a little over ambitious on that one, (drank a few beers last nite ) After I get everything done (including stg 3) I'dlike to send some pics in and see what they do. Probably just make the back page like everyone else

[streetsoffire]

Chris: I hear you.......Can't wait for you to post pics, The Audi is coming together quick; seems like you never rest on the modding.......and judging from the E46, you don't like to ride stock.......Great steal on the coilovers, by the way.
