Default Suspension Installation Question

I'm considering purchasing the following items for my '00 1.8Q w/ 93K miles:

- Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
- Bilstein Sport Shocks
- Forge-Audi TT Camber Adjustable Rear Tie Bars
- Neuspeed Sway Bar - 19mm Rear Adjustable
- Neuspeed - Front Anti-Sway Bar - 22mm
- Power Flex Audi TT/S3 Front Wishbone/Control Arm Inner Bushes (front and rear)

Can anyone tell me if these parts would be a good purchase. I would like to get the springs b/c the 19 inch wheels that I put on have raised the car. I don't race my car, but I like a firm ride and one that doesn't pitch in the corners. If not, please let me know if you have any recommendaions.

My other question is that, I would like to do the install myself, can someone tell me what special tools are needed to put these parts on myself.

Thanks.

not too difficult. the rears are the easiest.

Larger wheel just makes it look higher, optical allusion

Default Thats not true...

It all comes down to the rolling diameter. In my case...the overall rolling diamter of my 19s rs4s and tires raises my car about .25 over my 17s. Basically 1.5 of the 2" wheel increase is compensated by a lower sidewall tire...the other .5 is split between closing up the fender gap and raising the entire car.

yes but while that raises the car it should actually decrease the visual tire to fender gap.

That may be true but the car is still higher up than b/4 I added the 19s.

Thanks for the reply. The link and the pictures are great, but it seems like it will be a tough job for one person. I'll give it a shot though. Thanks again.
