Default I use the H&R ultra performance. It's an excellent setup. No variable damping rates, but....

Bilstein is coming out with a shock AND spring combo. Rather than the H&R's using Bilstein shocks/high rate H&R springs.

Default I am usign the ultra now...considering...

considering having Koni adjustables made double adjustable (compressionand rebound) externally, and then utilizing a HR spring, also with the perches relocated an 1" lower to give me the 2.5" drop i have now.

we are doing an RS4 fender flare conversion and want to try something different for suspension..

Thanks
Chad

By the way, I think the Bilstein PSS setup is damping rate adjustable

Default You won't regret it. Never mind if people say if it's too harsh of a ride..it's not really.....

You'll have much better control of your car and the ride still stays comfortable. I am running around 2 1/2" lower with no problem...and that's on Michigan's terrible roads around Detroit.

Default no problem, good luck. Try not to drop the car more than 2 5/8". It'll ride good, but you'll....

scrape more often. I forgot what my thread count was on the dampers. It's about 45 or so up front and about 35 counts in the rear...not 100% sure though. That's counting threads with my fingernail from the bottom most thread to the bottom of the secondary backup perch. I maintained a 1/2" to 5/8" height difference from back to front (Rears higher).

Later,
Mike
