    Cant say enough about how happy I am with these $500 coilovers. Ride is very very good. Added the CR15 brace this week and adjusted the height and the car feels amazing!!!

    Can you quick compare vs stock riding? I know you don't live in Midwest but these weren't suitable for winter right?

    Anything i've read about the ST's say that you should not run them in a climate that sees road salt. I've seen some reviews where after one year they start to pit and corrode

    Ride comfort is better than OEM in my opinion since I felt so "floaty" around turns on the oem where as now the car feels planted. Bumps and harsh roads are the same un terms of dampening. Overall for $500 it was an amazing mod

    Would I go KW adjustable... If you are tracking the car yes... If only street and drag strip... ST FTW based on value!

    I won't ever track the car. Don't really have a desire for that. I'll hit the 1/4 more than anything. I have non ads so I was thinking of swapping my springs for coilovers. I know the ride quality is subjective, I just like to hear what people think. Thanks so much for answering!

    Im as sensitive to change as they come and honestly could not be happier.

    You must do the CR15!!! Makes the steering sooo much more "real".

    I did the cr and roc euro the week I got the car. I was shocked at how off the car felt around corners. Just unattached for lack of a better word

    Its insane!!! I literally felt like car was gonna float off the ground the first time I took a big sweeping turn at speed.

    No longer the case with my current setup!

    034 inserts and Alu Kreuz and eurocode sways are next and will be done with handling mods after I get the Michelin PSS's

    I couldn't agree more. I was really butt hurt I didn't get the m3 after a few weeks with the s4. Cr really is a must have. Your review on the coilovers has me going through the old posts looking at some other options vs hr oe springs. Love those ag wheels. Car looks great with the drop! Also digging the new AWE. Big $$$ week but worth it in smiles.

    Nicely done. I'm looking at liquid bronze 510s, awe touring and I'm very closely watching the dual pulley stuff. I've got AMS 30 mins from the house so I'll be working with them. Just watching to see what you boys are doing with it and how it runs.

    Then I see this post and now I add coilovers. I hate yet love the modding bug!

    It's crazy that Audi would sell such an undrivable car and advertise it as a "sport" luxury car! My 94 mustang had a strut tower bar from the factory!

    I think Audi knows that for a large portion of buyers (few of whom lurk around the forums), the 'S' stands for Status, and the car doesn't have to handle all that well for that crowd. Different story for us enthusiasts.
