I have been doing a lot of reading and research lately here on AF. Thanks to everyone that have posted on this forum. I have been able to find out quite a bit on my own just by searching posts that other members have made. Unfortunately I didn't find this site in time and I wound up purchasing a 2001 A4 2.8 Quattro. Don't get me wrong I really love the car but with what I have learned from here I should have been looking for an S4 or even the 1.8 turbo but it is too late. I only plan on modding a few things on the car and the first thing is the ride height. With that said I purchased a set of Neuspeed Race springs with the 2" drop all around. I see a wide variety of choices for people on here and comments(good or bad) are welcome.
What I need now are some shocks and struts to go with the springs. What brand should I go with? I can not find too many post for this topic with the 2.8 Quattro motor. Does anyone have any reccomendations on a brand based on experience??? Please let me know, I plan on trying to purchase some this week sometime if possible.. Thank you for your help.
Keep this great forum going.

wow. sorry nobody ever responded. nobody really checks these posts. i believe the shocks and struts are the same for the 1.8

a lot of people like the bilstein sport shocks. i would get those if i had money.

this is assuming that there is no difference between the 1.8 and 2.8
