So I installed my tracksports yesterday so i decide to write my firs impression on them. The difference between TS and bilstines/neuspeed is very dramatic. The stasis tracksports only feel slightly stiffer than my older set up, but the difference in handling is phenomenal. With my bilstein/neuspeed set up, my tires would start slipping at this 90 degree at around 30 mph. With the tracksport i take that same corner at 40 mph and theres absolute no slipage. Body roll and dive are greatly decreased. I have 550/650 spring rates right now and the ride is pretty smooth and comfortable. I figure I really dont need that high of spring rates since i only plan on going to track a couple times a year. I get noticably more oversteer now but its very easy to control. The oversteer actually makes driving a lot more fun! I have riden in S4s with H&R and the stasis set up is definity better. The only other set i can think of that owns the tracksport in performance is the motorsports. 1bads4's motorsports with 800/1000lbs spring really make the s4 handle like a beast. Overall i think the tracksports are worth every penny! I think the only thing holding me back from even better handling are my tires...the kumhos 712 really arent the stickiest tire in the world.

The only concern I have right now is that the tires are rubbing the front fenders when i turn too hard or when i am taking a corner with bumpy road. My ride height is at 25 1/4" in the front and 25 1/2" in the back. Hopefully I can solve the problem by raising the front 1/4" more and stiffen the front 1/2 a turn more. If that doesnt work out i guess i will roll my fenders... This seems a little odd because my old set up's ride height was around that range as well and i had no rubbing issues. Even when my car had 19s the tires didnt rub . Does anyone have this rubbing issue with tracksport? I have 18" volk le37 with 10mm spacer in the front btw.

I still have not installed mine, and need to get at it. Any tips? BTW are you in L.A.?

drilled holes in the front so that I can adjust the rebound. If you have any questions you can email me or im me my aim sn is hadokenny. I will be happy to answer your questions.

I am riding on 19s and my ride height is 25.5 front and 25 5/8" rear and I had to trim the front fender and cut of some of the liner off so it wont rub!

Sorry bro, I didnt have the wrench with me!

About how long did it take you? I'll be doing it myself, no lift, but do have air tools.

Maybe I should raise it for the track so there is more room for the compression & rebound?

and the rear should be 1/8" higher than the front.

Unless you go with their track setup, but then you loose straight line stability and risk having excessive tire wear.

Anyhow, congrat on the suspension choice and enjoy!!

congrats! the oversteer definitely livens things up :-)
