Default Hey..can you look up a part for me...well two of them...

The upper rubber grommet thingy...B6 S4 front suspension..the thing the spring sets into..when it attaches to the hat.

Two, the rear sway bar mounting bolt...16mm I think..that goes on a B6 A4 1.8T.

The first I damaged on a customers car when installing the PSS9 coilovers..didn't need to alter this piece..but did...and the second because the damn bolt fell off my car while driving.

Thanks man.

Default info.

N-101-277-06 mounts the sway bar brackets to the subframe. M8x16. the other bolt used to mount the sway bar to the link is n-105-281-01

I know what you are describing but I dont see it in etka for the upper rubber bushing plate. if its like a b5 there is a round plate with a molded rubber layer on it that the coil is oriented into... then this plate is bolted to the shock using a allen key to counter hold the nut on the end of the piston. This plate also has 2 bolts sticking out of it which are attached to the triangle/ upper control arm mount plate.

Default Just because you think you know everything there is to know, and no one else has a clue...

doesn't mean it's true.

Raj was 100% on track with his suggestions. If your brakes feel like crap, start with the obvious. PADS, and new/resurfaced rotors. You can't use used pads on old rotors and expect them to be good, unless you resurface the rotors to new, and perform a bedding in.

If the initial bite is fine, but the pedal just smooshes to teh floor, then you need to flush and bleed. I've never seen the rubber lines flex a whole lot. I have seen cheap braided lines crap out though.

Default I dont see the first item unless it is part of the upper control arm mounting plate.

the B5 uses an upper spring seat plate, but I dont see the same for a b6.

SEE PIC.

Default See the top part of #2...there should be another one under #9

Number #9 is what I am considering the hat.
