Hello guys!
Last month I bought a 2007 prefacelift s3 8p with 100.000 kms on the clock and I’m pretty happy with it although it needs some minor work to be perfect for my taste!
Car is booked for full maintenance service and overall inspection in a few days and after that I’m planning on changing the shocks. Then move on new brake disk and pads front and rear with fresh brake fluid. I also got new Bridgestone Potenza s001 on.
Firstly I want the car to handle as it should and then move on engine upgrades.
By the time it has h&r rear arb fitted and bilstein b6 but the previous owner decided to send them for custom valving and after a few thousand kilometers shocks seems to be shot. Although they perform ok, I can hear gaping noises even on light bumps and it’s kind of annoying...
So my question is what Bilstein shocks to use with stock springs? I don’t want to go lower as i will use it as my daily and local roads are rubbish.
Should I go for b6 or b8? What about Koni’s?
Thanks for your time guys!
