Hi chaps,
I have had my tfsi S-line avant for a few years now. Lovely car and all, it's mainly the wifes to lug about in. She complained the suspension was too harsh on the standard S-line springs, which were very crashy. I upgraded them to some H&R progressive springs, which improved the ride a lot but it is way too low and the back has always sat a lot lower, even with B5 spring cups on the front. Now the subframe bottoms out a lot on speed bumps and some pot holes. I've had enough now and I'm tempted to sell the car and get a family wagon which can be beat about a bit. My other option is to lift the ride height a bit with some soft suspension.
I've looked around and I can only find -40mm springs minimum. I'm hoping Eibach or someone does a standard height progressive spring set I can use to lift the car and soften out some of the bumps a bit more.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Or do I need to sell it on and buy an SE or something?
Cheers, Mark.
