magnetic suspension
I searched and could not find what I needed to know about the magnetic suspension. What does it do and how does it work? And finally what models and years have this or is it just an option?

RE: magnetic suspension
^ it's on the newer mkII TT's. i hear there's a sport suspension button that magnetizes tiny metal fragments in liquid in the suspension to stiffen the ride.
or some crazy **** like that

RE: magnetic suspension
Prior to the release of the MkII TT, Audi installed reverse polarity magnets in all the roads in Europe and the US (expensive sales technique) and then put electromagnets on the chassis of the MkII TT. At the flip of a switch,the magnets pull thethe car down toward the road and compresses the existing springs/struts.
Here in Korea there's enough trash all over the ground and buried in the ground that the magnets just pull on old forks and spoons and such, but in other asian coutries this feature doesn't work. maybe they'll start the magnet install here soon.
No lie, that's how it works. Honest

RE: magnetic suspension
Nah, I'd imagine it's like having a 4 ft. spoiler. Just more traction. that's why the mkII doesn't come in Quattro. no need. With all that traction, they cut some weight by making it FWD.
