Lol probably not

I got very lucky twice. First time was this past spring when a buddy alerted me to a free S4 suspension in Ithaca, about an hour away. I contacted the owner and picked it up that night. I got struts, springs, rear swaybar, and as a bonus, a set of K03 turbos with inlet and outlet pipes. Total cost to me was gas up and back. I put the suspension gear in and ran it until about three weeks ago.

Second stroke of luck was a few weeksback. Local guy had the VMaxx but it was too low for his roads - the ride height had cost him two oil pans already and raising it to a safe height would essentially negate the reason to have them. He offered them to me for $200 plus a pair of stock rear springs. I countered by offering the S4 struts and springs plus cash, and he said that set plus $50 would be fine. We did the deal and now I'm rolling lowered for $50 cash and two hours' gas money.

Kinda hard to count on finding a better deal than that

Lol that does rock. Home delivery of a part for 20% of its retail cost kicks much ***.

Hey is this a good deal. I'm considering buying them even if only 2 of the wheels are usable.

Not the best deal but still a deal - just got a phantom II electric boost gauge and steering column gauge pod for 180 shipped and both were new in the box. Normally about 250
