Hey clconversion,

I'm located in Atlanta, GA. Too bad I don't know anyone that's into Audi's. Everyone I know likes luxery, muscle or jap cars. I only know a couple BMW folks, but they only have borning stock stuff.

I apprecaite the help with my suspension crisis. I'll probably go with the Bilstein/H&R combo and the Moven wheels. Looks like I'll need to get about 2K together before it's completed, but I'm definitly gonna do it.

Shoot! I don't wanna mess with any chips. I think my car is pretty darn fast the way it is right now. Maybe down the road though... My concern is my warranty. I'll be screwed if something goes wrong and I need to get it fixed with a chip under the hood. I checked some pricing at ECS tuning. They want $1249.00 for an H&R coil-over kit! There has got to be some cheaper options.. There is no bilstein.H&R combo avail. for my '01 A4. What crap! I really don't wanna spend that much on suspension..Any suggestions?

Jestnomen,

I called Kelly at M.J.M and he said he'd do the Koni coilovers for $899.00 - Pretty awesome deal from what I can tell. But, he said he'd do the Neuspeed springs with Bilstein struts for $629.00 shipped. From what he was saying... I really don't need coilovers since I'm not doing any showing and stuff. I really just want better performance, a lower car and some 18 RS4, Flik or Moen wheels. What do yall think?

I found a sale on KW suspension at the fortitude website. Does anyone know anything about KW coilovers? Here's the link - let me know what you think.

If you don't plan to track the car where you will be changing dampening levels,
then you do not need Koni coilovers. You will be fine with a static system like I have.
Bilstein Sport shocks with Neuspeed Sport springs.
