I literally just got back from Achtuning, who installed my coilovers for me. I was planning on doing it with a buddy, but I decided that I didn't know enough about suspension to do it.

I got a STaSIS StreetSport kit, for those of you who are wondering. I bought the very last one from Achtuning; apparently, STaSIS and most other shops are backordered. Check it out!

I got rear-ended not too long ago, so the rear bumper is pushed in slightly... you can tell [:'(]
---



---
It's not that noticeable, but it always catches my eye... oh well, I got $1,400 for a couple of scratches!

Clearcornering and a euro plate to cover up those nasty holes are coming up, don't worry [8D]

My own artistic touch, ruined by the amber-corners and the bump misalignment (slight)

**** YOU MY TAIL LIGHTS ARE SEXY

Okay, I know I need to give it a bath, and I know I need to get new rims on it. Also, I know I need to paint the mounting brackets, and I know I need to cover up those ugly holes and clearcorner the headlights, and tint the taillights and sand down the chrome. The cosmetic **** can wait for my wallet to refill.

 

looks nice. hows the ride?

 

You'll like them...now go race an Acura TSX.
How much did the install cost you? You may have to bring it back in for some minor adjustments once they "settle in", so I hope they cover that for free. Your car basically looks just like mine now(minus the ghay lights), but you have the FMIC.

 

grabo, the ride is stiff and I can feel the bumps on the road, but it's not too rough. Still comfortable.

I haven't taken it hard around the corners yet, since I just got them like an hour ago, haha

Bogie, the install was done by Achtuning... I can't say how much it cost me, since we had worked out a deal and I'd like to keep it a secret Also, I think our cars are very similar... 2000 A4 1.8T Quattro, custom cat-back w/ magnaflow tips, stasis coilovers, custom flowstack intake, glowshift boost gauge, R1 DV, APR chip, VVME 600K, and FMIC. No mounts yet, unfortuntaely

 

you have coilovers yet you have the ride height of the OEM sport suspension...slam that beotch

Hey keep me posted on how you like them, i think these are gonna be what I get when I get C/O hopefully this summer

 

yeah keep us updated.

how much you pay for Co's? and how much for the install?

 

once that thing settles, it'll be the perfect height. those are the exact ones i want too lol

 

haha thats what i was thinking, i thought those were the before pics or something

 

No, It will probably settle anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" lower. I had to raise one of my rears by 1/2" and the other rear by just under 1/4" after settling. One of the guysfrom STaSIS said you don't really want to go lower than about where you are now (by the looks ofit), b/c it willreally just start to make the car handle worse after a certain point (without increasing the damper settings to stiff as hell). Plus, once you getsome 17's or 18's under there, it will actually be perfect.
Leifer, you need to show the before and after pics side by side.
