1/2 KMAC is fine if you're dropping just over an inch. Anything more, you should get the full kit for the wider range of adjustment. Another option instead of the KMAC is the adjustable control arms, there are some nice options available.

 

The prices are very close between koni fsd and bilstein sport, whats the principle diffference I should expect between them? I get the impression bilstein has perhaps the better repuation. On that note, I see bilstein offers heavy duty setups? Is this for track and cross events? Doesnt sound like a street application. Thanks

My impression with the adjustable arms was that you would likely need a a half mac anways?

 

I think I've read that Koni has a softer ride than Bilstein. Also I know Koni has a lifetime warranty on their shocks.

 

Thats great to know, that tips it in favor of the koni fsd's since they are doing a promo with the rear sway. I am waiting to hear back from retiredguy on vwvortex about his set up (koni coils and ecs control arms for 1k)

 

jayzus I am short bus special. Apparently the service guy just meant I could do some strut brace work to help stiffen the car up, theres nothing wrong with it, but my front sway bar and the sleeves are all destroyed. So I need front and rear sways, and shocks/struts/springs. For quattro, I should go what 22mm front, 19mm rear likely neuspeed. For the Shocks I am leaning alot towards koni fsd's with eibachs. Then on top of all that I need what, a quantity of one of the half kmac? Thanks

 

Whenever you are going to make suspension adjustments you will either need a Kmac or similar bushing kit or adjustable rear control arms in order to properly adjust your camber or your handeling will be worse than ever and your tires will wear on the inside much faster.
If you are investing in a suspension you might as well invest 139 bucks more and get at least half the Kmac kit in order to adjust the camber. Also you probably wont need a front sway bar especially if you have a TT225. I would however go with the Neuspeed 19mm rear better yet the H&R 21mm adjustable rear sway bar. Either one will correct understeer and make the car more neutral. I am going with the Eibach Springs/Koni FSD combo because I don't want to lower it all that much and don't want to mess with constant adjustments. I heard that this combo is pretty good for a daily driver and also for a sporty jaunt on a curve road It will lower the car about 1 1/8 inch so nothing too drastic and yes you still will need a Kmac or similar mod.

 

Thanks, that sounds good. The issues is my current bushings/sleeves are cracked on my front sway, so I need to replace them and and going to them at the same time, waht would be an appropriate size?

 

I would go 25mm front and 21 mm rear.

Any reason to go 25 f 22 r over 22f 19r? Those h&rs looknice but they are a good deal more exspensive,$ is also why I am asking about doing 22 & 19 as opposed to 25 & 22. Thanks guys/gals/others
