Default question about adding sports suspension....

for the meantime, untill i get enough dough to get wheels and coilover susp. could i just buy the sport springs from audi or posibly used from some one? can u run the sport springs with the stock non-sport shocks? i just want a cheap alternative for the meantime to decrease the wheel gap as much as possible.

I'd buy springs and shocks from someone rather than try to use the non sport shocks

around what would the going rate be new/used for springs/shocks? would it be worth it?

Default Agree with Yippers...buy used springs/shocks, and a sport rear sway.

Don't buy shocks with more than ~20K miles. The factory shocks are good for about 50K before they begin to soften and feel like a non-sport suspension.

Contact SameerP to see if he still has his sport shocks and springs. He just sold his car...though I'm not sure whether his came with the sport package.
