Default Suspension info: cause there is been talk lately:

<center><img src="http://www.succulents.com/quattro/bearings.jpg"></center><p>http://www.audi-s2.ch/Berichte/Hardware/Fahrwerk/Domlager_1_kl.jpg

Well here's the deal about the blues and the greens. The greens stiffness is the same as the blues. The only difference is that the blues are shorter in height and will lower your car about 1/2 inch possibly at it's max.

copy and paste the link if you want to see the greens vs the black. I am searching through sach catalogs and if I find the blues for a different make car for a better price I will let people know but in my opinion stick with the greens. Why pay so much money when potentially they could only last 6 months.

And if I find a even better strut mount then the blues.. I will let ya'll know.

Cheers
Josh

Default Even more fun: lets learn how to read part #s...

857 412 323b

urq blue strut mount

857 urq

412 suspension

323 part #

B version of strut top if modified:

A being first
b second
C third
d etc.

So.. 857412323b Hypothetically speaking.. Some times there are flaws in the system, is the same part only with a different first 3 digit body stamp then 8a0412323b

Guess how much you can get 8a0412323B for????

$20.52 ;-)

I don't have 8a0412323b in front of me, nor do I have 857412323b in front of me.. but by the #s.. thats what you get.

How much is 857412323b
List Price : $135.54
Your Price: $110.89

Just to note: audi even says that D is better than B.

"strut bearing front superceded by 8a0412323d"

So.. who going to fork out the cash? and compare
857412323b to 8a0412323b

This is all hypothetically speaking based upon part #s alone. So don't quote me yet.

But have fun thinking about it for the guys who bought the blues and forked out the benjamins.

Cheers

Default more suspension info: powerflex bushing can be bought here in the states through:

I talked to george and he said if powerflex sells it that he can get it.

Cheers
Josh

P.s. George is a nice guy. I just bought a 60mm intercooler hose T through them and they didn't have black so he emailed me back right away and I am getting one in red.<ul><li><a href="http://www.forgemotorsports.com">http://www.forgemotorsports.com</a</li></ul>

Default 8A0 is the Lemforder "green" and is NOT the same as the 857 part.

I just posted some of this info (and better prices) on the 034 forums in the last couple days ;-)
