So I’m in the market for new suspension because I’d like to stance my car. As most anyone who reads my thread know that I’m avid Genuine Audi parts only if its not a JHM mod. With that said I would love to replace my 02 sport suspension but with a price tag from GAP of 2115.00 not including shipping. or from my local dealer no shipping but price matched with tax added. I was thinking I maybe have some better options with a set of coilovers. I am about 130k and my car is a bit bouncy and doesn’t stick to the road like it used to when I got it at 90k. So I’d love to feel a new set of 02 sports but would they really be any better than any of these options. I never track, launch or abuse my car, rarely i drive it with a bit of enthusiast and stil want it to perform properly and better than a new genuine 02 sport would, which my only issue is could be maybe a half inch lower at most. Also I dont want to drop it too much because I dont want to have to buy adjustable control arms. Which is another bonus of having stock suspension no shops can ever give me shift if I were to ever have issues with tire wear because stock suspension will not void warranty. and 02 is almost low enough and I think still looks really good.
Also I know this may sound weird but I’ll likely see if I can paint or powder coat any colors that don’t match my car like purple and yellow. So it looks custom and clean. So heres the info and prices i have on these setups from AZ and quick google for prices…
