Default Stock B5 suspension

I recently replaced my stock 2000 b5 a4 quattro suspension with the coil-over kit from stasis engineering and might i say my car handles better than any other ive ever driven. Granted I have upgraded neuspeed front and rear sway bars on my audi as well. Anyway.... I was wondering if anyone was interested in purchasing my old stock suspension. I have all the parts and its still in good condition, I can send a pic as well if needed. The parts came out of a 2000 quattro 1.8t and i dont really have a set price but i am accepting offers if anyone is interested.

Hey, I was wondering which level of suspension did you get from statsis? The streetsport, tracksport, or motorsport? Also do you find it really bouncy? Just because I am having a little personal battle debating whether I want to get coilovers, or a good set of spring/shocks. Also how much did you end up paying for them, because here in Canada there super expensive- Streetsport($1520) Tracksport($2540) and Motorsport($5300, also the ones I want [:@])
Thanks,
Dan

ps good luck with your sale!

to answer ur question i bought the street sport suspension coil-over kit from stasis engineering. The kit cost me 1095 not including shipping and handling. The suspension feels pretty smooth and stock like when driving on the high way or in a straight line, however, when taking turns it handles better than my friends subaru sti.... he still smokes my chipped 1.8t in a race but on connecticut back roads i own him. In my opinion if you bought the motorsport or even track suspension you would be wasting ur money because in reality not many ppl will bring their audi to the track and not many ppl will produce over 300 hp when u will need an actual racing suspension. My advice to you is save the exta cash and buy the street sport coilover and then upgrade ur sway bars... u will very satisfied and still have some extra money for an engine mod or two. Some ppl on this site would even say the street sport coil over is over kill and to just get spring and shocks seperate but now that i know from experience the street sport coil over kit from stasis dominates... period ..... nothing more can be said... u wont be able to purchase a spring and shock combo that will compare, plus they have dampening and ride height adjustments on them so u dont need to take off the suspension to adjust them. Also.... the price of ur street sport kit may differ because u have a 99 2.8 and i have a 2000 1.8t ... not 100 percent sure tho... good luck and feel free to ask any other questions... id be more than glad to answer.

Thanks for the feedback. The only thing that concerned me about the streetsport was that the damping isn't adjustable while its on the car(well thats what a website said www.independenttuning.ca). Also I am going to track my car(soon, first time out is in september), and eventually have well over 300whp (once I have the funds- pes charger+twin turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid ball bearing turbos= lots of hp and no lag, just high $$ because of internal mods needed). But that huge hp setup will be long in the makings so I might just go with the streetsports for now.
Thanks,
Dan
