[A9X SJ]

Looking for a set for the following don't want to spend a massive amount what you recommend ?

Audi A4 Avant 2002 SE 1.9tdi

Shock's and spring's. I made the move from coilover's (ap) back to eibach pro-street. Coilover's are ok if you want to run the car at different ride hight's (fiddly). Shock & spring's are a fit and forget item, i'm pleased with the eibach. Price's start from £400 > .. Buy a good setup, not cheap and cheerfull crap.

All depends what you want out of the kit really and how low you want to go?

I've got Eibach pro sport spring kit + pro sport dampers I've got to admit the ride is fantastic it's not as hard/uncormfortable as thought it would be, it has definately changed the stance of the car it looks a lot more sporty and definately more stable. I would say that this a good set-up if you use the car regularly and want the mix of sports ride with relative comfort.

Not looking for any thing mega low just looking to run a set of 19s without a huge arch gap budget of around £500 tops cheaper the better lol

What are the chances of any catching on 8" or 9" wide ride

 

[DPM]

I'd say go for a good quality springs and shocks kit then, something like the KW 50mm kit gives a great stance while still retaining comfort.

If you did want the adjustability of coilovers then the AP's are a good option.

what are the reviews on the APs like? they seem a bit too cheap to be good.

 

[DPM]

Very good, they're from the same family as KW so basically the starter version of the Variant range.

I was running AP's, the ride was good and the handling at high speed's was very good, but i alway's felt like the rear of the car looked to low no matter what i did. I was feed up with messing about with the ride hight. I made the jump to eibach and have not looked back. The AP's are very good value for money .

Anyone know of any offers on?

What about just going for springs ?
