THANK YOU BRO! im was thinking bilstein shocks, h&r sport springs..like you..but everyone says coilovers...and everyone with coilovers have no regrets. while people with suspension kits usually have regrets.

Seriously, my car isn't at all for "racing". I mean I could take the corners fine but I lower it to achieve a more aggressive stance. It really depends on what you're looking for really. Some people get suspension so they can track the car but some really are doing it just to get better stance.
thank you once again. im pushing for coilovers. i love you

I have no real regrets with the Bilsteins/Neuspeed Sport... but my next A4 (currently on truck headed to my house) will get coilovers.

The more I think about it the more I wish I pieced together everything to get my car bagged.

I know! I hope thats not your driving height!^

Who can deny the convenience of being able to magically deal with speed bumps and shitty roads at will? I've heard it both ways, but even if there is a sacrifice in performance, I think it'll handle at least as good as stock (probably much better) and is therefore worth the loss in performance for the gain in ease of use!
