P.S. I'm doing a 400 mile road trip this weekend including long hauls cruising the highway and some very good twisties so I'll report back after that... So far I have only driven on normal surface streets and freeways.

 

Supreme hasKoni Coiloversfor $972 http://www.supremepowerparts.com/app....0T.aspx?cat=9

Stasis StreetSports are the same thing, except Stasis adds improved HDPE perches and presets the shocks for the A3 instead of for a GTI. Achtuning has them for $1095 http://shop.achtuning.com/index.asp?...mp;ProdID=1300

 

MJM have them for 1149, but they include a Neuspeed rear sway in the deal.

 

Chef,

You have a rear sway bar right? How do you like it?

I didn't get as much twisties in as I had planned this weekend, but I did do some and the car handled great! Still pushes in the hard corners and that is why I ask about the sway bar, but overall it corners much flatter and it wasn't too harsh on 400 miles of highway driving either.

I had the RSB prior to the coilovers, and I noticed a huge improvement then. I would assume you'd still see a big improvement with the coilovers.



Cheers!

 

cmreefer,

i just got the konis installed on my car as well. any idea how to adjust the damper in the rear?

 

The damper in the rears adjusts the same as the fronts. Problem is that you need to remove the rears to adjust. Sorry.



Cheers!

 

Chef, What have you found to be a good setting for the dampers?

BTW, I found mine for $984 shipped from WRD.

 

My rears are set at 1/3 stiff and it seems to work well in most situations. I have the fronts set the same for daily driving, but I set fully stiff for any track or serious competition use. It would be nice to adjust the rears without removing, but you can't beat the price.



Cheers!

 

Thanks for your input Chef on the RSB... I think that's my next mod.

I have left the dampening at the factory levels... I'm considering taking the car to GMG near my house to have a full competition alignment and corner weighting done, because that is apparently how to get the best performance from them. I figure I saved a few hundred by doing the install myself, so I can spend that on a good alignment job........ Out of curiosity, anyone done this with their A3 yet?

Cheers
