Default FK rear springs upgrade??>>>>

so i contacted amimotorsports about getting some replacement rear springs for the old FK springs that i have (the ones that are 'compressed)

they told me that they have an 'upgrade' version which is basically a stiffer springs that will fix the problem

cost: $100 for the pair

sounds like a gud deal.....anyone know anything about it??

Default here is the reply i got from AMI motorsports.....>>>>

Philip,

1. They will fit on
2. Since the springs are progressive I can not tell you the exact stiffness of them. They are a lot stiffer than the ones you have though.
3. These springs have more coils then your original springs and yes they will be compressed like your last ones.
4. No pictures are available. Sorry.
5. Lastly, the springs are a special order item so, we will not be bringing them in for regular stock. You must order them if you want them.

Thanks,
Amy

Hello Amy,



Thanks for the info



It is the TT Quattro and I would like to get some additional information regarding the springs:



Will it fit with my current height adjustment cups on the back
How much stiffer are the springs (in terms of spring weight) compared to the ones that I have (the blue ones)
With this new springs (stiffer ones) will my spring still be all the way â€<sup>~</sup>compressedâ€<sup>TM</sup> like how they currently are
Please provide me with some pictures of the product (if any)
When do I have to place the order? Or can you just notify me once you have receive the shipment from Germany


Thanks for all the help



Philip Chu

Is your Audi TT a Quattro?



The race springs that I was discussing with you is the best/only solution to your problem with the rear. They are a stiffer spring.



Price $100.00 US. for the pair. I believe that you are located in the States, correct? It will also take 8-10 weeks to get them because we just had an order shipped over from Germany and it will be awhile before we get another.



If you have any other questions or concerns don't hesitate to email me back. Thanks,



Amy
