Default Front or rear? Aftermarket or stock? Lots of info in the FAQ - see link:

Default Sorry...

I figured you guys just knew psychically what car I had.

180HP Quattro Coupe - Later Model 2001. Bone stock.

I'm figuring they're 20mm since that seems to be the most common... but that's why I'm double checking. I thought you guys may know just based off of the specifications (which I failed to provide at first).

Default 20mm,,,,,>>

Chisel off the plastic bushing (which is usually the source of the squeak) and replace with 20mm Powerflex.

Default As far as Neuspeed goes... do you recommend going 22mm or 25mm?

Not ready for the front now... but in the future. I still need to get chipped and do DP/exhaust.

Default Only put a bigger front on..>>

If you have a larger rear. The 22mm front. 19mm rear is a combination that works well dynamically..
