Default Santa came yesterday driving a boxy brown truck...

...bearing H&R coilovers, new ECS rotors, PBR ceramic pads, high temp fluid, and myrrh. I don't know how the heck you use myrrh on an Audi, but I'm going into the shop with the rest of this stuff early this morning! Stand by for expressions of glee from the Colorado mountains...and hurry up with that supercharger kit, Paul...

Default Excellent! Love my H&Rs.

Consider upgrading to the S8 rear swaybar while you're down there.

Default Congrats! You'll be loving life!

Not to mention every time you come out to your car in a parking lot you'll stare at your car and say "that thing is proportioned perfectly"!

I still do it to this day!

Yes, but I'd wait to see if the matched set becomes available.

Default Yes, but had to mod the stock bushings.

It wasn't too bad, used a drum sanding attachment on a Dremel. Catching a little flak from the wife, due to the burned rubber smell in the house, was the worst of it.

Ask Paul, he was the one interacting with them, I just donated my stock swaybar to The Cause.

Default I've emailed them

The guy hasn't gotten back to me, I was going to give it another week and call. You know I will post an update.....I want a set by April for Grattan at the end of April.
